Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the T95R156M050LSAS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Capacitance value must remain 15 µF. Voltage rating must be maintained at 50 V or higher. Package and case dimensions must match the 2824 (7260 Metric) specification. ESR must remain at 400 mOhm. Mounting type must be surface mount. Operating temperature range must cover -55°C to 125°C. Type must be conformal coated tantalum capacitor.

The tolerance specification may vary within acceptable substitution criteria. The T95R156K050ESAS qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering a tighter tolerance of ±10% compared to the ±20% tolerance of the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T95R156M050LSAS and T95R156K050ESAS are active production components from Vishay Sprague with identical electrical performance characteristics and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts should be based on tolerance requirements for the specific application circuit. The T95R156M050LSAS with ±20% tolerance is suitable for general-purpose filtering and energy storage applications where capacitance variation within this range does not impact circuit performance. The T95R156K050ESAS with ±10% tolerance provides tighter capacitance control for applications requiring more precise capacitive values. Both parts carry identical compliance certifications, moisture sensitivity ratings, and operating specifications. Inventory availability may also influence part selection, with the T95R156K050ESAS currently showing higher stock levels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R156K050ESAS be used as a direct replacement for T95R156M050LSAS?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible. The T95R156K050ESAS maintains identical capacitance, voltage rating, package dimensions, ESR, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is tolerance specification, where the substitute offers tighter control at ±10% versus ±20%.

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

A: Tolerance defines the acceptable range of capacitance variation from the nominal 15 µF value. The T95R156M050LSAS allows variation between 12 µF and 18 µF. The T95R156K050ESAS allows variation between 14.6 µF and 16.5 µF. Applications sensitive to capacitance accuracy should use the tighter tolerance part.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 2824 (7260 Metric) package with identical length, width, and maximum seated height specifications. PCB footprints and assembly processes are interchangeable.

Q: Do these parts have the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 2A rating, requiring storage at controlled humidity for 4 weeks maximum before reflow soldering.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status, ECCN classification, and HTSUS codes. Compliance requirements are equivalent.
