T95R157K020CSSL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The T95R157K020CSSL is a 150 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor manufactured by Vishay Sprague, rated for 20 V operation in a 2824 (7260 Metric) surface mount package. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for high-reliability applications requiring conformal coating protection. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the same product series, enabling component interchangeability in circuit designs where the primary part becomes unavailable or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the T95R157K020CSSL are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 150 µF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Rated voltage: 20 V
• Type: Conformal Coated
• ESR: 75 mOhm
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: 2824 (7260 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.283" L x 0.236" W (7.20 mm x 6.00 mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.150" (3.80 mm)
• Series: TANTAMOUNT™, T95
• Manufacturer Size Code: R
• MSL: 2A (4 Weeks)

The substitute part T95R157K020LSAL maintains all electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the main part, with the exception of RoHS compliance status. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Sprague within the same product series and are classified as Active status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both T95R157K020CSSL and T95R157K020LSAL are Active status components from Vishay Sprague's TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and compliance requirements:

The T95R157K020CSSL is ROHS3 compliant and is the appropriate selection for applications subject to RoHS3 regulations or where compliance certification is required.

The T95R157K020LSAL is RoHS non-compliant and is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement. This part may be selected based on availability or cost considerations in non-regulated environments.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with identical ESR, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions. Substitution between these parts does not affect circuit performance when compliance requirements are satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R157K020LSAL be used as a direct replacement for T95R157K020CSSL?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Both parts have identical capacitance (150 µF), voltage rating (20 V), ESR (75 mOhm), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and package dimensions (2824 / 7260 Metric). The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. Substitution is valid only if RoHS3 compliance is not a regulatory requirement for your application.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: RoHS3 compliance indicates the component meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. The T95R157K020CSSL is ROHS3 compliant; the T95R157K020LSAL is not. If your application, end market, or supply chain requires RoHS certification, the T95R157K020CSSL must be used.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are packaged in the 2824 (7260 Metric) case 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). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCBs designed for this package.

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

A: Yes. Both parts are rated MSL 2A (4 Weeks), indicating identical moisture sensitivity handling requirements during storage and assembly.

Q: What is the ESR specification and why is it important?

A: ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) is 75 mOhm for both parts. This parameter affects ripple current handling and frequency response. Identical ESR values ensure equivalent performance in filtering and decoupling applications.

Q: Are both parts currently in production?

A: Yes. Both T95R157K020CSSL and T95R157K020LSAL are classified as Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturing and availability from Vishay Sprague.
