Equivalent & Substitute Parts for T95R106K050ESSS

Part Overview

The T95R106K050ESSS is a 10 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor rated for 50 V operation in a 2824 (7260 Metric) surface mount package. This component is manufactured by Vishay Sprague under the TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series and maintains active product status. Tantalum capacitors of this specification are essential in applications requiring high reliability, compact form factors, and stable performance across extended temperature ranges. Alternative models may be required due to inventory constraints, specific ESR requirements, or application-specific performance optimization.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T95R106K050ESSS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 10 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 50 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2824 (7260 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Series: TANTAMOUNT™ T95 (exact match required)

The substitute part T95R106K050LSAL meets all these criteria. The primary difference between the main part and its substitute is the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR): the main part specifies 650 mOhm, while the substitute specifies 500 mOhm. This lower ESR in the substitute part represents an improvement in electrical performance and does not restrict compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both T95R106K050ESSS and T95R106K050LSAL are active products manufactured by Vishay Sprague with identical compliance certifications and moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific ESR requirements. The T95R106K050LSAL offers superior electrical performance with lower ESR (500 mOhm versus 650 mOhm), making it suitable for applications where reduced impedance and improved transient response are beneficial. Both parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility, thermal performance, and reliability ratings. Neither part is RoHS compliant; applications requiring RoHS compliance require alternative component selection outside this substitution group.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R106K050LSAL be used as a direct replacement for T95R106K050ESSS?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters: capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, package, and operating temperature range. The lower ESR of the substitute part does not restrict compatibility and represents an electrical improvement.

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

A: ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) affects impedance characteristics and transient response. The T95R106K050LSAL with 500 mOhm ESR provides lower impedance compared to the T95R106K050ESSS with 650 mOhm ESR. This difference is application-dependent; lower ESR is generally advantageous in high-frequency filtering and transient suppression applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 2824 (7260 Metric) package with identical length (0.283" / 7.20mm), width (0.236" / 6.00mm), and maximum seated height (0.150" / 3.80mm). PCB layout and mechanical assembly are fully compatible.

Q: Do these parts have different moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL 2A (4 Weeks) rating, requiring identical storage and handling protocols.

Q: Are there inventory or lead time considerations?

A: The T95R106K050ESSS has 907 pieces in stock, while T95R106K050LSAL has 1332 pieces in stock. Availability may influence selection in time-sensitive applications.
