Vishay Sprague T95R106K050CSSS Tantalum Capacitor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Vishay Sprague T95R106K050CSSS is a 10 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor rated for 50 V operation in a 2824 (7260 Metric) surface mount package. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for high-reliability applications requiring conformal coating protection. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, compliance requirements, or specific performance characteristics necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining functional equivalence within defined electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T95R106K050CSSS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 10 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 50 V (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2824 (7260 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions and height (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks) (exact match required)

The substitute part T95R106K050LSAL meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and RoHS compliance status are secondary characteristics that do not affect functional substitutability within the defined parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both T95R106K050CSSS and T95R106K050LSAL are Active product status components manufactured by Vishay Sprague within the TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series. Selection between these parts should be based on compliance requirements and inventory availability.

The T95R106K050CSSS is ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications with RoHS regulatory requirements. The T95R106K050LSAL is RoHS non-compliant and appropriate for applications without RoHS mandates. The lower ESR characteristic of T95R106K050LSAL (500 mOhm versus 650 mOhm) may provide performance advantages in applications sensitive to impedance characteristics, though both parts satisfy the specified electrical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R106K050LSAL be used as a direct replacement for T95R106K050CSSS?

A: Yes, T95R106K050LSAL is electrically and mechanically equivalent to T95R106K050CSSS across all mandatory parameters: capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, package type, mounting configuration, temperature range, and physical dimensions. Selection should account for RoHS compliance requirements and ESR specifications relevant to the application.

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

A: The T95R106K050LSAL has lower ESR (500 mOhm) compared to T95R106K050CSSS (650 mOhm). Lower ESR reduces impedance and heat generation in high-frequency or high-current applications. Both values are within acceptable ranges for standard tantalum capacitor applications.

Q: Are there any package or mounting differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use identical 2824 (7260 Metric) surface mount packages with matching physical dimensions (0.283" L x 0.236" W, 7.20mm x 6.00mm) and maximum seated height (0.150" / 3.80mm). PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification when substituting between these parts.

Q: What does RoHS compliance status mean for component selection?

A: ROHS3 compliance (T95R106K050CSSS) indicates the component meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances directives and is suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. RoHS non-compliant parts (T95R106K050LSAL) are appropriate for applications without RoHS mandates. Regulatory requirements of the end application determine which part is appropriate.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the full operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both T95R106K050CSSS and T95R106K050LSAL operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and maintain specified electrical characteristics throughout this range.
