T95R156K050LSAS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The T95R156K050LSAS is a 15 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor rated for 50 V operation in a 2824 (7260 Metric) surface mount package. This component is manufactured by Vishay Sprague under the TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series and maintains active product status. Conformal coated tantalum capacitors are essential in applications requiring high reliability, compact form factors, and stable performance across extended temperature ranges. Alternative models become necessary when addressing inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or specific procurement specifications while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of tantalum capacitors is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The T95R156K050LSAS qualifies for direct substitution with parts meeting all of the following criteria:

• Capacitance: 15 µF (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match)
• Voltage Rating: 50 V (exact match)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match)
• ESR: 400 mOhm (exact match)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match)
• Package / Case: 2824 (7260 Metric) (exact match)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.283" L x 0.236" W, 0.150" max height (exact match)
• Manufacturer Size Code: R (exact match)
• Series: TANTAMOUNT™, T95 (exact match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks) (exact match)

Parts meeting these specifications are electrically and mechanically interchangeable without circuit redesign or board layout modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T95R156K050LSAS and T95R156K050ESAS are active products from Vishay Sprague with identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications. Selection between these parts is based on procurement factors rather than technical performance differences. The T95R156K050ESAS offers higher inventory availability (1532 units versus 721 units), which may provide advantages for high-volume production or extended lead time mitigation. Both components maintain RoHS non-compliant status and EAR99 export classification. Moisture sensitivity level 2A (4 Weeks) applies uniformly across both parts, requiring standard handling and storage protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are T95R156K050LSAS and T95R156K050ESAS electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in capacitance (15 µF), voltage rating (50 V), tolerance (±10%), ESR (400 mOhm), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). They are direct electrical equivalents.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes. Both components share identical package specifications (2824 / 7260 Metric), physical dimensions (0.283" L x 0.236" W, 0.150" max height), and mounting type (surface mount). No board layout or footprint modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the T95R156K050LSAS and T95R156K050ESAS part numbers?

A: The part numbers differ only in their suffix designations (LSAS versus ESAS). Both are manufactured by Vishay Sprague within the TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series. The suffix variation reflects internal manufacturing or distribution coding and does not indicate functional or performance differences.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant status, EAR99 export classification, and HTSUS code (8532.21.0050). Moisture sensitivity level is 2A (4 Weeks) for both components.

Q: What factors should guide selection between these two parts?

A: Selection is based on inventory availability and procurement lead times. The T95R156K050ESAS currently has higher stock levels. Both parts are active products with no planned obsolescence. Consult your supplier for current availability and delivery schedules.

Q: Are conformal coated tantalum capacitors suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Yes. Both the T95R156K050LSAS and T95R156K050ESAS are rated for high reliability and are suitable for demanding applications. The conformal coating provides additional environmental protection. Verify moisture sensitivity handling requirements (MSL 2A, 4 Weeks) for your specific assembly process.
