T95R226M050LSSL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The T95R226M050LSSL 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 specifications aligned with circuit design requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T95R226M050LSSL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 22 µF (no deviation)
• Voltage Rating: Must be 50 V (no reduction)
• Package / Case: Must be 2824 (7260 Metric) (identical physical footprint required)
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount
• Type: Must be Conformal Coated
• ESR: Must be 300 mOhm
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C to 125°C
• Series: Must be TANTAMOUNT™ T95

The T95R226K050LSAL qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute. While it differs in tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%), all other critical electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical. The tighter tolerance of the substitute part provides enhanced precision without compromising compatibility or performance in applications designed for the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T95R226M050LSSL 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 specific to the application circuit. The main part (T95R226M050LSSL) with ±20% tolerance is suitable for applications with broader capacitance acceptance windows. The substitute part (T95R226K050LSAL) with ±10% tolerance provides tighter capacitance control and is appropriate for circuits requiring enhanced precision. Both parts are functionally interchangeable from an electrical and mechanical standpoint, with identical ESR, voltage rating, temperature range, and package specifications. Packaging format differs (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®), which may influence procurement and assembly workflow considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R226K050LSAL replace T95R226M050LSSL in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (22 µF), voltage rating (50 V), ESR (300 mOhm), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and package footprint (2824 / 7260 Metric). The substitute part features tighter tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), which is a functional improvement. No circuit redesign or PCB layout modification is required.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference?

A: Tolerance defines the acceptable deviation of actual capacitance from the nominal 22 µF value. The main part allows ±20% deviation (17.6 µF to 26.4 µF), while the substitute allows ±10% deviation (19.8 µF to 24.2 µF). Applications sensitive to capacitance precision benefit from the tighter tolerance of the substitute part.

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 maximum seated height of 0.150" (3.80mm). PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape in reel format, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging provides components on tape segments or alternative formats, often preferred for lower-volume orders or mixed-component procurement. Both formats contain identical components; packaging choice depends on assembly volume and procurement strategy.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance and reliability standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS non-compliant, classified under ECCN EAR99, and assigned HTSUS code 8532.21.0050. Both maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 2A (4 Weeks) and are rated for COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) applications with High Reliability features.
