T95R156K050CSSL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The T95R156K050CSSL is a 15 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor manufactured by Vishay Sprague, rated for 50 V operation. This component belongs to the TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series and is designed for surface mount applications in the 2824 (7260 Metric) package. The part is currently active in production with high reliability ratings and ROHS3 compliance. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or specific application needs necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T95R156K050CSSL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 15 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 50 V (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2824 (7260 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.283" L x 0.236" W, 0.150" max height (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)

The T95R156K050ESAS meets all substitution criteria. Variations in ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and RoHS compliance status do not preclude substitution when electrical performance and mechanical fit are the primary selection drivers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both parts are active products from the same manufacturer and series. The T95R156K050CSSL is ROHS3 compliant, making it the preferred choice for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The T95R156K050ESAS is RoHS non-compliant but remains functionally equivalent for applications without RoHS requirements. The ESR difference of 50 mOhm between the two parts is within typical tolerance ranges for tantalum capacitors and does not affect substitution eligibility for standard circuit applications. Selection should be based on regulatory compliance requirements and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R156K050ESAS replace T95R156K050CSSL in all applications?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters. However, the T95R156K050ESAS is RoHS non-compliant, so substitution is restricted to applications without RoHS regulatory requirements.

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

A: The T95R156K050CSSL has 350 mOhm ESR while the T95R156K050ESAS has 400 mOhm ESR. This 50 mOhm difference is within normal manufacturing variation for tantalum capacitors and does not affect standard circuit performance or compatibility.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

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 0.150" maximum seated height. They are mechanically interchangeable on PCBs designed for either part.

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

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

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, the T95R156K050CSSL is recommended due to ROHS3 compliance, ensuring compatibility with current and future regulatory requirements.
