The substitute part T95R156K050ESAS maintains all electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution in circuit applications. Differences in compliance certifications and inventory status do not affect functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both T95R156K050CSAS and T95R156K050ESAS are Active status components from the TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series. The primary distinction between these parts is RoHS compliance status: T95R156K050CSAS is ROHS3 compliant, while T95R156K050ESAS is RoHS non-compliant.

Selection between these equivalent parts should be based on regulatory and procurement requirements specific to the application. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, T95R156K050CSAS is the appropriate choice. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, T95R156K050ESAS provides an equivalent alternative. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and physical form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R156K050ESAS be used as a direct replacement for T95R156K050CSAS?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent, with identical capacitance (15 µF), voltage rating (50 V), ESR (400 mOhm), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and package dimensions (2824 / 7260 Metric). The difference in RoHS compliance status does not affect functional performance.

Q: What is the significance of the conformal coating on these tantalum capacitors?

A: Conformal coating provides environmental protection for the capacitor, enhancing reliability in applications exposed to moisture, salt spray, or other corrosive conditions. Both substitute parts feature identical conformal coating specifications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both T95R156K050CSAS and T95R156K050ESAS share identical dimensions: 0.283" L x 0.236" W (7.20 mm x 6.00 mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.150" (3.80 mm). They are compatible with the same PCB footprints and assembly processes.

Q: What does the manufacturer size code "R" indicate?

A: The manufacturer size code "R" is Vishay Sprague's designation for the 2824 (7260 Metric) package format. Both substitute parts use this identical size code.

Q: How does MSL 2A (4 Weeks) affect component handling?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 2A indicates the component can be stored in dry conditions for up to 4 weeks before soldering. Both parts share identical MSL specifications and require equivalent moisture control during storage and assembly.
