Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the T95R106M050LSAS is permissible when the following core parameters remain constant or within acceptable design margins:

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

Variations permitted in substitute selection:

• Tolerance: May be tighter (±10% acceptable for ±20% specification)
• ESR: May be lower (500 mOhm acceptable for 650 mOhm specification)

The T95R106K050LSAL qualifies as a direct substitute based on these criteria, offering improved tolerance and lower ESR while maintaining all critical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T95R106M050LSAS and T95R106K050LSAL are active products from Vishay Sprague with identical compliance certifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8532.21.0050) and RoHS status. Selection between these parts depends on design tolerance requirements and ESR performance specifications.

The T95R106K050LSAL offers superior performance characteristics with tighter capacitance tolerance (±10% versus ±20%) and lower ESR (500 mOhm versus 650 mOhm). These improvements are beneficial in applications requiring tighter capacitance control or lower impedance characteristics. Both parts are rated for COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) applications with high reliability features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R106K050LSAL replace T95R106M050LSAS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical capacitance, voltage rating, package dimensions, and operating temperature range. The tighter tolerance and lower ESR of the substitute represent performance improvements compatible with the original specification.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 2824 (7260 Metric) package with identical dimensions: 0.283" L x 0.236" W (7.20mm x 6.00mm) and maximum seated height of 0.150" (3.80mm). PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference?

A: The main part specifies ±20% capacitance tolerance, while the substitute specifies ±10%. Tighter tolerance reduces capacitance variation across the production batch, beneficial for applications with strict circuit performance requirements.

Q: Does ESR difference affect circuit performance?

A: Lower ESR in the substitute part (500 mOhm versus 650 mOhm) reduces impedance and heat generation. This is advantageous in high-frequency or high-current applications but does not create incompatibility with designs specified for the higher ESR value.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels the same?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated MSL 2A (4 Weeks), requiring identical handling, storage, and reflow procedures during assembly.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in procurement?

A: Yes, provided design documentation permits the tolerance and ESR variations. Both parts are active products with equivalent availability and compliance certifications.
