Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The T95R226K050LSAL qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on the following matching criteria:

Matching parameters across main and substitute part:

• Capacitance: 22 µF (identical)
• Voltage Rating: 50 V (identical)
• ESR: 300 mOhm (identical)
• Package / Case: 2824 (7260 Metric) (identical)
• Type: Conformal Coated (identical)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (identical)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks) (identical)

Differing parameters:

• Tolerance: ±20% (main part) vs. ±10% (substitute)
• Packaging Format: Tape & Reel (main part) vs. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® (substitute)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (main part) vs. RoHS non-compliant (substitute)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The T95R226K050LSAL serves as a direct functional substitute for the T95R226M050CSSL in applications where the following conditions are met:

Tolerance consideration: The substitute part features ±10% tolerance compared to the main part's ±20% tolerance. This tighter tolerance may provide improved circuit performance in applications sensitive to capacitance variation.

Packaging format: The substitute is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format rather than Tape & Reel. Verify packaging compatibility with assembly equipment and procurement workflows.

Compliance consideration: The main part is ROHS3 compliant, while the substitute is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements must use the T95R226M050CSSL or identify an alternative that meets compliance mandates.

Both parts share identical electrical performance characteristics (capacitance, voltage rating, ESR, operating temperature range) and physical dimensions, ensuring mechanical and thermal compatibility in the 2824 package footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R226K050LSAL replace T95R226M050CSSL in all applications?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed. However, RoHS compliance status differs. Verify regulatory requirements for your application before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference (±20% vs. ±10%)?

A: Tolerance defines the acceptable range of capacitance deviation from the nominal 22 µF value. The ±10% substitute provides tighter capacitance control, which may be beneficial in precision circuits but is not required for general-purpose applications tolerating ±20% variation.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 2824 (7260 Metric) package with identical length (0.283" / 7.20mm), width (0.236" / 6.00mm), and maximum seated height (0.150" / 3.80mm). PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® are distribution formats only. Electrical specifications and component performance remain identical.

Q: What does conformal coating provide?

A: Conformal coating protects the tantalum capacitor from moisture, salt spray, and environmental contaminants, extending reliability in harsh operating conditions.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Both parts carry Active product status. Verify current inventory with your distributor, as availability may vary by region and time.
