Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T95R226K050CSSS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 22 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 50 V (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2824 (7260 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks) (exact match required)

The identified substitute part T95R226K050LSAL meets all electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences in packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel) and ESR specification do not affect functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T95R226K050CSSS and T95R226K050LSAL are Active status components from the Vishay Sprague TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series and are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for circuit applications requiring 22 µF, 50 V tantalum capacitors in the 2824 package.

The T95R226K050CSSS is RoHS3 compliant and supplied in Tape & Reel packaging format. The T95R226K050LSAL is RoHS non-compliant and supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements and procurement packaging specifications. The T95R226K050LSAL exhibits lower ESR (300 mOhm versus 390 mOhm), which may provide performance benefits in applications sensitive to impedance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R226K050LSAL be used as a direct replacement for T95R226K050CSSS in production assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters: capacitance (22 µF), tolerance (±10%), voltage rating (50 V), package (2824), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Substitution is valid from a functional standpoint. Compliance and packaging format differences must be evaluated against specific project requirements.

Q: What is the difference in ESR between these parts, and does it affect circuit performance?

A: The T95R226K050CSSS has an ESR of 390 mOhm, while the T95R226K050LSAL has an ESR of 300 mOhm. ESR differences affect impedance characteristics and ripple current handling. Applications with strict ESR requirements should specify the appropriate part number.

Q: Are there packaging compatibility considerations when switching between these parts?

A: Yes. The T95R226K050CSSS is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the T95R226K050LSAL is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Packaging format affects handling, storage, and automated assembly processes. Verify compatibility with your procurement and assembly workflows.

Q: What is the RoHS compliance status of each part?

A: The T95R226K050CSSS is RoHS3 compliant. The T95R226K050LSAL is RoHS non-compliant. If your application or market requires RoHS compliance, the T95R226K050CSSS is the appropriate selection.

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

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for high reliability and are classified as Active products. Both operate across the -55°C to 125°C temperature range and carry MSL 2A (4 Weeks) moisture sensitivity ratings, making them suitable for demanding environments.
