Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T95R156K050CSSS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 15 µF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Voltage rating: 50 V
• Type: Conformal Coated
• ESR: 400 mOhm
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Package designation: 2824 (7260 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.283" L x 0.236" W (7.20 mm x 6.00 mm)
• Maximum seated height: 0.150" (3.80 mm)
• MSL rating: 2A (4 Weeks)

The T95R156K050ESAS meets all these parameters and is classified as a parametric equivalent within the TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both T95R156K050CSSS and T95R156K050ESAS are electrically and mechanically equivalent components within the TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements. The T95R156K050CSSS carries ROHS3 compliance certification, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS directives. The T95R156K050ESAS is RoHS non-compliant and should be selected only when RoHS compliance is not a requirement. Both components maintain identical electrical performance, physical dimensions, and thermal operating characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R156K050ESAS be used as a direct replacement for T95R156K050CSSS?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical capacitance, voltage rating, ESR, operating temperature range, and package dimensions. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. Direct substitution is possible from an electrical standpoint; however, regulatory compliance requirements must be evaluated for your specific application.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both components use the 2824 (7260 Metric) package with dimensions of 0.283" L x 0.236" W (7.20 mm x 6.00 mm) and maximum seated height of 0.150" (3.80 mm). PCB layout and assembly considerations are identical.

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

A: Conformal coating provides environmental protection for the tantalum capacitor element. Both substitute parts carry this coating, ensuring equivalent protection against moisture, contaminants, and corrosive atmospheres in demanding operational environments.

Q: How does MSL rating affect component handling?

A: Both parts carry an MSL rating of 2A with a 4-week floor life. This classification requires controlled storage conditions and defines the maximum time the component can remain at room temperature before reflow soldering. Handling procedures are identical for both parts.

Q: What is the difference between the part number suffixes CSSS and ESAS?

A: The suffix designates the specific manufacturing configuration and compliance certification. CSSS indicates ROHS3 compliance, while ESAS does not carry RoHS certification. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.
