Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T95R106M050CSSS is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value must be 10 µF
• Voltage rating must be 50 V or higher
• Package / Case must be 2824 (7260 Metric)
• Type must be Conformal Coated
• Mounting type must be Surface Mount
• Operating temperature range must encompass -55°C to 125°C

The T95R106K050LSAL qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in tolerance and ESR are permitted within the allowed substitution parameters for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T95R106M050CSSS and T95R106K050LSAL are active production components from the same manufacturer series with identical electrical ratings and mechanical compatibility. The primary differences are tolerance specification and ESR characteristics.

The T95R106M050CSSS carries RoHS3 compliance certification. The T95R106K050LSAL is RoHS non-compliant and should be selected only when RoHS compliance is not a requirement for the application.

The T95R106K050LSAL offers tighter tolerance (±10% versus ±20%) and lower ESR (500 mOhm versus 650 mOhm), which may provide performance advantages in applications sensitive to capacitance variation or ripple current characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R106K050LSAL be used as a direct replacement for T95R106M050CSSS?

A: Yes, both parts share identical capacitance, voltage rating, package, and operating temperature specifications. Physical dimensions and mounting characteristics are identical, enabling direct PCB substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference between ±20% and ±10%?

A: Tolerance defines the allowable deviation from the nominal 10 µF capacitance value. The T95R106K050LSAL with ±10% tolerance provides a tighter capacitance range (9.0 µF to 11.0 µF) compared to the T95R106M050CSSS (8.0 µF to 12.0 µF). Applications requiring precise capacitance values benefit from the tighter tolerance specification.

Q: What does ESR difference mean for circuit performance?

A: ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) affects ripple current handling and voltage drop characteristics. The T95R106K050LSAL at 500 mOhm provides lower ESR than the T95R106M050CSSS at 650 mOhm, resulting in reduced heat generation and improved performance in high-frequency or high-ripple-current applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The T95R106M050CSSS is RoHS3 compliant. The T95R106K050LSAL is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use the T95R106M050CSSS.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes, both parts carry MSL 2A (4 Weeks) rating, indicating identical moisture handling and storage requirements.
