Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T95R337K016CSAS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: capacitance value (330 µF), tolerance (±10%), rated voltage (16 V), conformal coating type, package designation (2824), surface mount mounting type, and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The identified substitute part T95R337K016LSAL maintains all these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and RoHS compliance status do not disqualify substitution when the primary functional parameters remain identical. The substitute part is selected based on parametric compatibility and availability within the same manufacturer series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T95R337K016CSAS and T95R337K016LSAL are active production parts from the same manufacturer series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status: the main part (T95R337K016CSAS) is ROHS3 compliant, while the substitute (T95R337K016LSAL) is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts depends on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, the T95R337K016CSAS is the appropriate choice. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, the T95R337K016LSAL offers lower ESR (55 mOhm versus 110 mOhm), which may provide performance benefits in high-frequency or low-impedance circuit topologies. Both parts are rated for COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) applications with high reliability features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R337K016LSAL be used as a direct replacement for T95R337K016CSAS?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Both parts share identical capacitance (330 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±10%), package (2824), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The substitute has lower ESR, which is a performance advantage. However, RoHS compliance status differs; verify regulatory requirements for your application before substitution.

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

A: The substitute part (T95R337K016LSAL) has 55 mOhm ESR compared to 110 mOhm for the main part (T95R337K016CSAS). Lower ESR reduces impedance and heat generation, beneficial in applications with high ripple current or fast transient response requirements. This is a functional improvement, not a limitation.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both the T95R337K016CSAS and T95R337K016LSAL are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging and use the identical 2824 (7260 Metric) surface mount package with matching footprint dimensions and height specifications.

Q: What does RoHS compliance status mean for component selection?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance is a regulatory requirement in certain markets and applications. The T95R337K016CSAS is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current standards. The T95R337K016LSAL is RoHS non-compliant. If your application or market requires RoHS compliance, use the T95R337K016CSAS. If no such requirement exists, either part is acceptable.

Q: Do these parts have identical moisture sensitivity levels?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated MSL 2A (4 Weeks), indicating identical moisture handling and storage requirements during manufacturing and assembly processes.
