Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T95R337M016CSSS is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 330 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2824 (7260 Metric) (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: May vary (±20% to ±10%)
• ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance): May vary (110 mOhm to 55 mOhm)
• RoHS Status: May vary (ROHS3 Compliant to RoHS non-compliant)

The substitute part T95R337K016LSAL meets all mandatory matching criteria while offering improved tolerance (±10% versus ±20%) and reduced ESR (55 mOhm versus 110 mOhm). These variations represent performance enhancements rather than functional deviations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T95R337M016CSSS and T95R337K016LSAL are active products from Vishay Sprague within the TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series. Selection between these parts depends on regulatory and compliance requirements:

T95R337M016CSSS Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring ROHS3 compliance
• Designs where regulatory documentation specifies RoHS3 certification
• Procurement environments with mandatory RoHS3 material restrictions

T95R337K016LSAL Selection Criteria:

• Applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement
• Designs benefiting from improved tolerance specification (±10%)
• Designs benefiting from reduced ESR (55 mOhm versus 110 mOhm)
• Procurement environments prioritizing performance optimization over compliance certification

Both parts share identical electrical ratings, package dimensions, and thermal operating range, ensuring direct functional interchangeability within their respective compliance frameworks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T95R337K016LSAL be used as a direct replacement for T95R337M016CSSS?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Both parts have identical capacitance (330 µF), voltage rating (16 V), package (2824), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The substitute offers improved tolerance (±10% versus ±20%) and lower ESR (55 mOhm versus 110 mOhm). Compliance requirements must be evaluated separately.

Q: What is the difference in tolerance between these parts?

A: The main part T95R337M016CSSS has ±20% tolerance, while the substitute T95R337K016LSAL has ±10% tolerance. The tighter tolerance of the substitute part provides greater capacitance accuracy and may benefit applications with strict capacitance specifications.

Q: Does the ESR difference affect circuit performance?

A: ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) affects ripple current handling and transient response. The substitute part's lower ESR (55 mOhm versus 110 mOhm) represents improved performance characteristics. Applications sensitive to ESR should evaluate whether the lower value provides benefits or if the higher ESR of the main part is acceptable.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 2824 (7260 Metric) package with identical dimensions: 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 impact of RoHS compliance differences?

A: The main part (T95R337M016CSSS) is ROHS3 compliant, while the substitute (T95R337K016LSAL) is RoHS non-compliant. Selection depends on end-use market regulations and customer requirements. Applications destined for markets with mandatory RoHS requirements must use the compliant part.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Both parts maintain active product status from Vishay Sprague. Inventory availability should be verified through current distributor stock levels.
