T95R226K050LABL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The T95R226K050LABL is a 22 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor manufactured by Vishay Sprague, rated for 50 V operation in a 2824 (7260 Metric) surface mount package. This component is part of the TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series and maintains Active product status. Tantalum capacitors of this specification are critical in applications requiring high reliability, compact form factors, and stable performance across extended temperature ranges. Substitute parts are identified to address packaging format availability, inventory requirements, or supply chain considerations while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the T95R226K050LABL is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part T95R226K050LSAL maintains identical specifications for capacitance (22 µF), tolerance (±10%), voltage rating (50 V), conformal coating type, ESR (300 mOhm), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), package designation (2824 / 7260 Metric), and physical dimensions.

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Both packaging methods are standard industry formats for surface mount components and do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility on the PCB.

Substitution is valid when:

• Capacitance value matches exactly (22 µF)
• Voltage rating is equal or greater (50 V minimum)
• Tolerance specification is identical (±10%)
• Package footprint is identical (2824 / 7260 Metric)
• Conformal coating type is maintained
• ESR specification is met (300 mOhm maximum)
• Operating temperature range encompasses application requirements (-55°C to 125°C)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both T95R226K050LABL and T95R226K050LSAL are Active status components from Vishay Sprague's TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and supply chain requirements rather than electrical performance, as all critical parameters are identical.

The T95R226K050LABL in Tape & Reel format is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where continuous reel feeding is standard. The T95R226K050LSAL in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format provides flexibility for lower-volume production runs, mixed-component kitting, or applications where component-level inventory management is preferred.

Both parts comply with identical RoHS non-compliance status and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.21.0050) classifications. Moisture sensitivity level (2A, 4 Weeks) is equivalent, requiring identical handling and storage protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R226K050LSAL be used as a direct replacement for T95R226K050LABL on the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®). PCB footprint, solder pad layout, and component placement are identical. No design changes are required.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated pick-and-place equipment with reel feeders. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® provides components in tape strips that can be cut to length, offering flexibility for manual assembly, small batch production, or component-level kitting. Both formats contain the same component with identical electrical specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS status (non-compliant), ECCN classification (EAR99), HTSUS code (8532.21.0050), and moisture sensitivity level (2A, 4 Weeks). Handling, storage, and compliance documentation requirements are identical.

Q: What parameters must match for a tantalum capacitor to be considered a true substitute?

A: For the T95R226K050LABL category, the following parameters must match exactly: capacitance (22 µF), tolerance (±10%), voltage rating (50 V), conformal coating type, ESR specification (300 mOhm), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and package footprint (2824 / 7260 Metric). Packaging format (reel type) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can these parts be mixed in the same production batch?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate both packaging formats. If your equipment is configured for Tape & Reel feeding, Cut Tape components would require manual placement or feeder reconfiguration. Conversely, if using manual or mixed-component assembly, Cut Tape format may be more practical. Electrical performance and PCB compatibility are unaffected by mixing packaging formats.
