Vishay Sprague T95R337K016CSSS Tantalum Capacitor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Vishay Sprague T95R337K016CSSS is a 330 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor rated for 16 V operation in a 2824 (7260 Metric) surface mount package. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for high-reliability applications requiring stable capacitance performance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, compliance requirements, or specific electrical performance characteristics necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining functional equivalence within the defined parameter set.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T95R337K016CSSS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 330 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2824 (7260 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions and height (exact match required)
• Series: TANTAMOUNT™, T95 (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks) (exact match required)

The substitute part T95R337K016LSAL meets all mandatory equivalence criteria. Variations in Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and RoHS compliance status do not disqualify substitution when all primary electrical and mechanical parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T95R337K016CSSS and T95R337K016LSAL are Active product status components from the same manufacturer and series. Selection between these parts should be based on compliance requirements and inventory availability.

The T95R337K016CSSS carries ROHS3 compliance certification, making it the appropriate choice for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements. The T95R337K016LSAL is RoHS non-compliant and should be selected only when RoHS compliance is not a design constraint.

The T95R337K016LSAL features a lower ESR value (55 mOhm versus 110 mOhm), which may provide performance advantages in applications sensitive to impedance characteristics, provided RoHS non-compliance is acceptable.

Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and thermal operating ranges, ensuring functional interchangeability within the specified parameter boundaries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R337K016LSAL be used as a direct replacement for T95R337K016CSSS?

A: Yes, provided RoHS compliance is not a design requirement. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters including capacitance, voltage rating, package dimensions, and operating temperature range.

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

A: The T95R337K016LSAL has an ESR of 55 mOhm compared to 110 mOhm for the T95R337K016CSSS. ESR affects impedance characteristics and heat dissipation. Applications with stringent impedance requirements may benefit from the lower ESR value of the substitute part.

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). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCB layouts.

Q: What does RoHS3 compliance mean for the main part?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the T95R337K016CSSS meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive requirements, restricting the use of specific hazardous materials. This certification is required for many regulated industries and markets.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the full -55°C to 125°C temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the T95R337K016CSSS and T95R337K016LSAL are rated for continuous operation across the -55°C to 125°C temperature range with identical performance characteristics.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) requirement?

A: Both parts carry MSL 2A (4 Weeks) rating, indicating they must be stored in controlled humidity conditions and have a 4-week floor life after moisture barrier bag opening. Identical handling and storage procedures apply to both parts.
