T95R226M050ESSL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The T95R226M050ESSL 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 essential in applications requiring high reliability, compact form factors, and stable performance across extended temperature ranges. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, packaging format preferences, or tolerance specification adjustments while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the T95R226M050ESSL is permissible with the T95R226K050LSAL based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Capacitance: 22 µF (identical)
• Voltage Rating: 50 V (identical)
• ESR: 300 mOhm (identical)
• Package / Case: 2824 (7260 Metric) (identical)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (identical)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (identical)
• Type: Conformal Coated (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks) (identical)
• Series: TANTAMOUNT™ T95 (identical)
• Manufacturer: Vishay Sprague (identical)

Differing Parameters:

• Tolerance: ±20% (main part) vs. ±10% (substitute) — the substitute offers tighter tolerance
• Packaging Format: Tape & Reel (TR) (main part) vs. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® (substitute)

The substitute part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved tolerance performance and alternative packaging options.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T95R226M050ESSL and T95R226K050LSAL maintain Active product status and identical compliance classifications (RoHS non-compliant, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8532.21.0050). Selection between these parts should be based on:

Tolerance Requirements: The T95R226K050LSAL provides ±10% tolerance compared to the ±20% tolerance of the T95R226M050ESSL. Applications requiring tighter capacitance accuracy should specify the substitute part.

Packaging Format: The T95R226M050ESSL is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the T95R226K050LSAL is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Selection depends on assembly line equipment compatibility and procurement volume requirements.

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts are electrically equivalent across all critical parameters: 22 µF capacitance, 50 V rating, 300 mOhm ESR, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. Direct substitution is permissible from an electrical standpoint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R226K050LSAL replace T95R226M050ESSL in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (22 µF, 50 V, 300 mOhm ESR), package dimensions (2824 / 7260 Metric), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The substitute offers improved tolerance (±10% vs. ±20%), making it suitable for direct substitution.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on reels, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging provides components on tape segments or alternative reel formats, often preferred for lower volumes or mixed-component orders.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8532.21.0050, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 2A (4 Weeks).

Q: Does the ±10% tolerance of the substitute part affect circuit performance?

A: The tighter tolerance of T95R226K050LSAL (±10%) provides improved capacitance accuracy compared to T95R226M050ESSL (±20%). This may benefit applications with strict capacitance specifications but does not negatively impact circuits designed for the original ±20% tolerance.

Q: Are both parts suitable for conformal coating applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are conformal coated tantalum capacitors, maintaining the same coating type and moisture sensitivity characteristics (2A, 4 Weeks).
