Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The T95R337K016LSAL is classified as a parametric equivalent to the T95R337K016LSAS. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications across capacitance (330 µF), tolerance (±10%), and rated voltage (16 V). Both are conformal coated tantalum capacitors within the same TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series, sharing the same package designation (2824), physical dimensions, and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

The primary distinction between these parts is the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR): the main part T95R337K016LSAS specifies 110 mOhm, while the substitute T95R337K016LSAL specifies 55 mOhm. This lower ESR in the substitute part represents improved performance characteristics while maintaining full compatibility with the same mounting footprint, mechanical envelope, and environmental specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T95R337K016LSAS and T95R337K016LSAL are active production parts with identical product status and compliance certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on ESR requirements for the specific application. The T95R337K016LSAL, with its lower ESR specification of 55 mOhm compared to 110 mOhm, provides superior performance in applications sensitive to impedance characteristics, ripple current handling, or thermal dissipation. Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant status and MSL ratings, ensuring equivalent handling and storage requirements. Inventory availability may also influence selection, as the substitute part currently shows higher stock levels (1543 Pcs vs. 744 Pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R337K016LSAL be used as a direct replacement for T95R337K016LSAS?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (330 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±10%), package (2824), physical dimensions, and operating temperature range. The substitute part features lower ESR (55 mOhm vs. 110 mOhm), which represents equal or improved performance.

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

A: ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) affects impedance, ripple current capability, and heat generation. The lower ESR of the T95R337K016LSAL (55 mOhm) provides better performance in high-frequency applications and reduces thermal stress compared to the 110 mOhm specification of the main part.

Q: Are the physical footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 2824 (7260 Metric) package with identical dimensions of 0.283" L x 0.236" W (7.20mm x 6.00mm) and maximum seated height of 0.150" (3.80mm). No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Do these parts have the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 2A (4 Weeks) rating, requiring identical handling, storage, and reflow procedures.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant status, COTS qualification, and environmental ratings. No compliance re-evaluation is necessary when substituting between these parts.
