Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T95R226M050CSAL is determined by maintaining the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 22 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 50 V (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2824 (7260 Metric) (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• ESR: 300 mOhm (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)

The identified substitute part T95R226K050LSAL maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is the tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%) and packaging configuration (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel). Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Sprague within the TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series and share identical physical dimensions and performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T95R226M050CSAL and T95R226K050LSAL are active production parts from Vishay Sprague with identical electrical performance and physical form factors. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

T95R226M050CSAL is the appropriate choice for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and standard Tape & Reel packaging for automated assembly processes.

T95R226K050LSAL is suitable for applications where tighter capacitance tolerance (±10%) is beneficial and where RoHS compliance is not a regulatory requirement. This part offers improved tolerance specification at the trade-off of non-compliance with RoHS directives. The Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging may be preferred for lower-volume or manual assembly operations.

Both parts maintain identical ESR characteristics, operating temperature ranges, and moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring equivalent performance in circuit applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R226K050LSAL be used as a direct replacement for T95R226M050CSAL?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Both parts share identical capacitance (22 µF), voltage rating (50 V), ESR (300 mOhm), package dimensions (2824/7260 Metric), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The primary differences are tolerance specification and RoHS compliance status. Verify that your application does not mandate ROHS3 compliance before substituting.

Q: What is the difference in tolerance between these parts?

A: The T95R226M050CSAL has ±20% tolerance, while the T95R226K050LSAL has ±10% tolerance. The tighter tolerance of the substitute part provides more precise capacitance values, which may be advantageous in applications with strict capacitance requirements.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 2824 (7260 Metric) package with dimensions of 0.283" L x 0.236" W (7.20mm x 6.00mm) and a maximum seated height of 0.150" (3.80mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCBs designed for this package.

Q: What is the difference in packaging configuration?

A: The T95R226M050CSAL is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, optimized for high-volume automated assembly. The T95R226K050LSAL is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format, which may be more suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly operations.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance status relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical performance. Both parts deliver identical electrical characteristics and performance in circuit applications.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. Both parts are listed as active production items with substantial inventory availability from Vishay Sprague.
