Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the T86E107M016EBAS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 100 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2917 (7343 Metric) (exact match required)
• ESR: 600 mOhm (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (exact match required)

The T83E107K016EZZS qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. The primary distinction is tolerance specification: the substitute part features ±10% tolerance compared to the original ±20% tolerance, representing an improvement in capacitance accuracy. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical characteristics across all other critical specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The T83E107K016EZZS is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete T86E107M016EBAS. Selection is justified on the following basis:

• The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.
• All critical electrical parameters—capacitance, voltage rating, ESR, and operating temperature range—are identical.
• Physical dimensions and package specifications are equivalent, enabling direct PCB layout compatibility.
• The improved tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%) provides enhanced capacitance accuracy without introducing design constraints.
• Both parts share identical compliance certifications (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99).
• Moisture sensitivity classification remains unchanged at MSL 1, preserving handling and storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the T83E107K016EZZS be used as a direct replacement for the T86E107M016EBAS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part is electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters. PCB footprints, soldering requirements, and circuit performance remain unchanged. The marginal height difference (0.170" versus 0.169") is within standard manufacturing tolerances and does not affect assembly or clearance.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference between these parts?

A: The T83E107K016EZZS features ±10% tolerance compared to the original ±20% tolerance. This represents improved capacitance accuracy. For applications where tighter capacitance specification is beneficial, the substitute part provides enhanced performance. For applications where the original ±20% tolerance was acceptable, the substitute part remains fully compatible.

Q: Why is the original part classified as obsolete?

A: The T86E107M016EBAS is no longer in active production. The T83E107K016EZZS represents the current active equivalent within the Vishay Sprague TANTAMOUNT™ product line, offering equivalent functionality with improved specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant, REACH Unaffected, and ECCN EAR99. No additional certifications or regulatory considerations apply to the substitution.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level, and does it affect handling?

A: Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling and storage procedures for tantalum capacitors apply without special moisture control requirements.
