Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the T95R226K050CSAS is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 22 µF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Rated voltage: 50 V
• Dielectric type: Conformal coated tantalum
• Package designation: 2824 (7260 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.283" L x 0.236" W, 0.150" max height
• Mounting configuration: Surface mount
• Temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Moisture sensitivity: 2A classification

The identified substitute part T95R226K050LSAL maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), and regulatory compliance do not affect functional interchangeability in applications where these specifications are met.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both T95R226K050CSAS and T95R226K050LSAL are Active status components from the same manufacturer series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for capacitance, voltage rating, temperature range, and physical form factor.

The primary distinction is regulatory compliance: T95R226K050CSAS carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while T95R226K050LSAL is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements and regional regulatory mandates. The T95R226K050LSAL exhibits lower ESR (300 mOhm versus 390 mOhm), which may provide marginal performance benefits in high-frequency or low-impedance circuit applications, though this difference does not affect functional interchangeability for standard tantalum capacitor applications.

Packaging format differs: T95R226K050CSAS is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while T95R226K050LSAL is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® formats. Selection should align with assembly line requirements and component handling procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R226K050LSAL be used as a direct replacement for T95R226K050CSAS in PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical capacitance (22 µF), voltage rating (50 V), tolerance (±10%), package dimensions (2824 / 7260 Metric), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Physical and electrical interchangeability is confirmed.

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

A: T95R226K050LSAL has lower ESR (300 mOhm) compared to T95R226K050CSAS (390 mOhm). ESR affects impedance characteristics at high frequencies and ripple current handling. For most standard applications, this difference is not functionally significant. Applications with specific ESR requirements should verify compatibility with circuit design parameters.

Q: Does the packaging format difference affect circuit performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape / Digi-Reel®) affects only component handling, storage, and assembly logistics. Electrical and mechanical performance remain identical. Selection should be based on manufacturing process requirements.

Q: Why is RoHS compliance different between these parts?

A: T95R226K050CSAS is ROHS3 compliant, while T95R226K050LSAL is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations (primarily in EU markets and regulated industries) must use the compliant variant. Non-regulated applications may use either part.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Yes. Both components carry High Reliability feature designation and are classified as COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) with Active product status. Both maintain the same operating temperature range and moisture sensitivity classification (2A, 4 Weeks).
