T95R337M016CSAL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The T95R337M016CSAL is a 330 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor manufactured by Vishay Sprague, rated for 16 V operation. This component belongs to the TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series and is designed for surface mount applications in the 2824 (7260 Metric) package. The part is currently active in production with high reliability ratings and ROHS3 compliance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance is required but the original part is unavailable or when alternative tolerance specifications better suit application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T95R337M016CSAL is determined by the following critical parameters:

Capacitance value must remain 330 µF. Voltage rating must be 16 V or higher. ESR must not exceed 55 mOhm. Operating temperature range must span -55°C to 125°C. Package and mounting type must be identical (2824 surface mount). Physical dimensions and height must match or be smaller. Conformal coating type must be maintained. Moisture sensitivity level must be 2A or better.

The T95R337K016LSAL qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all critical electrical specifications while offering improved tolerance performance (±10% versus ±20%). Both parts share identical voltage rating, ESR, operating temperature range, package configuration, and physical dimensions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The T95R337M016CSAL is the primary selection for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. This part maintains active production status and meets all regulatory requirements for restricted substance use.

The T95R337K016LSAL serves as a functional equivalent when tighter capacitance tolerance (±10%) is beneficial for circuit performance. However, this substitute does not meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. Selection of this part should be limited to applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable or where the improved tolerance specification is critical to system operation.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the specified parameter boundaries. Inventory availability should be evaluated against project timelines, as the substitute part currently has higher stock levels (1543 units versus 1075 units).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R337K016LSAL be used as a direct replacement for T95R337M016CSAL?

A: Yes, within the constraints of your compliance requirements. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (330 µF, 16 V, 55 mOhm ESR), operating temperature range, and physical package dimensions. The primary difference is tolerance (±10% versus ±20%) and RoHS compliance status. If ROHS3 compliance is mandatory for your application, the main part must be used.

Q: What does the tolerance difference mean for circuit operation?

A: The T95R337K016LSAL offers ±10% tolerance, meaning capacitance will fall between 297 µF and 363 µF. The T95R337M016CSAL offers ±20% tolerance, meaning capacitance will fall between 264 µF and 396 µF. Applications sensitive to capacitance variation may benefit from the tighter tolerance of the substitute part.

Q: Are the physical packages identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 2824 (7260 Metric) surface mount package with identical dimensions of 0.283" L x 0.236" W (7.20 mm x 6.00 mm) and maximum seated height of 0.150" (3.80 mm). PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: What is the significance of the conformal coating?

A: Conformal coating provides environmental protection for both parts. This coating is maintained across both the main part and substitute, ensuring equivalent protection against moisture, dust, and chemical exposure in harsh operating environments.

Q: How does ESR affect my circuit?

A: Both parts maintain 55 mOhm ESR, which determines ripple current handling and voltage regulation performance. This identical specification ensures equivalent behavior in power supply filtering and energy storage applications.
