Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 293D684X0050C2TE3 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete T86C684M050ESSS. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Sprague and share identical electrical specifications and mechanical packaging. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for new designs and ongoing production support.

The 293D684X0050C2TE3 provides the additional advantage of ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original T86C684M050ESSS is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance improvement may be beneficial for applications subject to environmental regulations, though the electrical and mechanical performance remains unchanged.

Both parts carry identical REACH Unaffected and EAR99 ECCN classifications. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) applies to both components, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 293D684X0050C2TE3 be used as a direct replacement for the T86C684M050ESSS?

A: Yes. Both components share identical capacitance (0.68 µF), voltage rating (50 V), ESR (5.9 Ohm), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and package format (2312/6032 Metric). Physical dimensions and mounting characteristics are equivalent, enabling direct substitution in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance. The T86C684M050ESSS is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 293D684X0050C2TE3 is in active production and ROHS3 compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any height or dimensional concerns when substituting?

A: No. The seated height maximum is 0.110" (2.80mm) for the T86C684M050ESSS and 0.110" (2.79mm) for the 293D684X0050C2TE3. This 0.01mm difference is negligible for PCB assembly and does not affect board layout or component clearance.

Q: What packaging formats are available for the substitute part?

A: The 293D684X0050C2TE3 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes. The original T86C684M050ESSS packaging format is not specified in the available data.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are REACH Unaffected and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. The substitute part offers ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original is RoHS non-compliant. Both have MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.
