Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T95R156M050LSAL is determined by strict adherence to the following critical parameters:

Fixed Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Capacitance: 15 µF
• Voltage Rating: 50 V
• Package / Case: 2824 (7260 Metric)
• Type: Conformal Coated
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
• Physical Dimensions: 0.283" L x 0.236" W (7.20 mm x 6.00 mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.150" (3.80 mm)

Variable Parameters (Allowed Variance):

• Tolerance: ±20% (main part) to ±10% (substitute acceptable)
• ESR: 350 mOhm (main part) to 400 mOhm (substitute acceptable)

The substitute part T95R156K050ESAS meets all fixed parameters while offering improved tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%) and operates within acceptable ESR variance for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T95R156M050LSAL and T95R156K050ESAS are active products from Vishay Sprague with identical compliance certifications (RoHS non-compliant, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8532.21.0050). Selection between these parts should be based on tolerance and ESR requirements specific to the application circuit.

The T95R156M050LSAL provides 350 mOhm ESR with ±20% capacitance tolerance. The T95R156K050ESAS offers tighter ±10% capacitance tolerance with 400 mOhm ESR. Both components maintain identical thermal performance, package geometry, and conformal coating specifications, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical compatibility within the specified parameter ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R156K050ESAS be used as a direct replacement for T95R156M050LSAL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (15 µF), voltage rating (50 V), package (2824), physical dimensions, and operating temperature range. The substitute offers improved tolerance (±10% versus ±20%) and operates within acceptable ESR variance (400 mOhm versus 350 mOhm).

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are capacitance tolerance (±10% versus ±20%) and ESR (400 mOhm versus 350 mOhm). All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any package or mounting differences?

A: No. Both parts use the 2824 (7260 Metric) surface mount package with identical physical dimensions (0.283" L x 0.236" W, 7.20 mm x 6.00 mm) and maximum seated height (0.150" / 3.80 mm).

Q: Do these parts have different moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL 2A (4 Weeks) rating, requiring identical handling and storage protocols.

Q: Which part should be selected for applications requiring tighter capacitance tolerance?

A: The T95R156K050ESAS with ±10% tolerance is suitable for applications where capacitance accuracy is critical. The T95R156M050LSAL with ±20% tolerance is appropriate for applications with broader tolerance margins.
