T95R226K050LSAS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The T95R226K050LSAS 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. Conformal coated tantalum capacitors are essential in applications requiring high reliability, compact form factors, and stable performance across extended temperature ranges. Substitute parts are identified to address packaging format preferences, inventory availability, or ESR performance requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T95R226K050LSAS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance: 22 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 50 V (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2824 (7260 Metric) (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.283" L x 0.236" W x 0.150" H max (exact match required)
• Manufacturer Size Code: R (exact match required)
• Series: TANTAMOUNT™, T95 (exact match required)
• Product Status: Active (exact match required)

The T95R226K050LSAL qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, physical dimensions, and thermal characteristics. The primary distinction is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Additionally, the substitute exhibits lower ESR (300 mOhm versus 390 mOhm), which represents an improvement in performance characteristics without affecting substitutability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T95R226K050LSAS and T95R226K050LSAL maintain Active product status from Vishay Sprague, confirming ongoing manufacturing support and availability. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and ESR performance criteria:

The T95R226K050LSAS in Tape & Reel format is appropriate for high-volume automated assembly operations requiring continuous reel feeding.

The T95R226K050LSAL in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format accommodates lower-volume production runs, manual assembly processes, or applications where smaller quantity increments are preferred. The reduced ESR specification (300 mOhm) of the substitute part provides superior performance in applications sensitive to impedance characteristics, such as high-frequency filtering or low-noise signal conditioning circuits.

Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliance status and MSL rating, requiring equivalent handling and storage protocols. No compliance or certification differences exist between the two options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R226K050LSAL be used as a direct replacement for T95R226K050LSAS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all critical parameters: 22 µF capacitance, ±10% tolerance, 50 V rating, conformal coating, operating temperature range, and 2824 package dimensions. The substitute exhibits lower ESR, which is a performance improvement. Packaging format differs (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel), but this affects procurement and assembly logistics only, not circuit performance.

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

A: ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) affects impedance at high frequencies and heat dissipation under ripple current conditions. The T95R226K050LSAL at 300 mOhm provides lower impedance than the T95R226K050LSAS at 390 mOhm. In applications with stringent ESR requirements, the substitute part offers superior performance. In applications where ESR is not a limiting factor, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there any handling or storage differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 2A (4 Weeks), requiring the same storage conditions, shelf-life management, and reflow soldering protocols. Handling procedures are identical.

Q: What packaging format should I select for my application?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) format is standard for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format is suitable for lower-volume production, manual assembly, or when smaller quantity increments align with procurement schedules. Both formats contain the same component; packaging choice depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: Are both parts currently in production?

A: Yes. Both the T95R226K050LSAS and T95R226K050LSAL maintain Active product status, confirming current manufacturing and availability from Vishay Sprague.
