T95R106M050CSAS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The T95R106M050CSAS is a 10 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor manufactured by Vishay Sprague, 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 stable capacitance performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, compliance requirements, or specific electrical parameter needs necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining functional equivalence within the same package and voltage class.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T95R106M050CSAS is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 10 µF (no deviation permitted)
• Voltage Rating: Must be 50 V or higher (equal or superior rating acceptable)
• Package / Case: Must be 2824 (7260 Metric) for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount
• Type: Must be Conformal Coated
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C to 125°C minimum

The identified substitute part T95R106K050LSAL meets all mandatory substitution criteria. Variations in tolerance (±20% vs. ±10%) and ESR (650 mOhm vs. 500 mOhm) are within acceptable electrical parameter ranges for this product category and do not preclude substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T95R106M050CSAS and T95R106K050LSAL are Active status components suitable for production use. The T95R106M050CSAS carries RoHS3 compliance certification, while the T95R106K050LSAL is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts must account for regulatory requirements specific to the end application and target market. The T95R106K050LSAL offers superior ESR performance (500 mOhm vs. 650 mOhm) and tighter capacitance tolerance (±10% vs. ±20%), which may provide advantages in applications sensitive to ripple current or requiring precise capacitance values. Both components share identical mechanical dimensions, thermal operating range, and moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring direct interchangeability at the board level when compliance requirements are satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R106K050LSAL be used as a direct replacement for T95R106M050CSAS?

A: Yes, provided that RoHS compliance requirements do not mandate the use of RoHS3-compliant components. Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible within the specified operating parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference (±20% vs. ±10%)?

A: Tolerance defines the acceptable range of actual capacitance values around the nominal 10 µF specification. The T95R106K050LSAL (±10%) provides tighter capacitance accuracy, which is beneficial in applications where precise capacitance values are critical to circuit performance.

Q: Does the ESR difference (650 mOhm vs. 500 mOhm) affect circuit performance?

A: ESR impacts ripple current handling and voltage drop characteristics. The lower ESR of the T95R106K050LSAL (500 mOhm) results in reduced heat generation and improved performance in high-frequency or high-current applications. Selection depends on specific circuit requirements.

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). No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) requirement?

A: Both parts are classified as MSL 2A with a 4-week floor life. This indicates standard moisture handling procedures are required during storage and assembly, with no special drying requirements beyond industry-standard practices.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection is based on compliance and performance requirements. For RoHS3-compliant applications, use T95R106M050CSAS. For applications prioritizing lower ESR and tighter tolerance, use T95R106K050LSAL, provided RoHS compliance is not a constraint.
