T95R686K025LSAL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The T95R686K025LSAL is a 68 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor rated at 25 V, manufactured by Vishay Sprague in the TANTAMOUNT™ T95 series. This component is designed for surface mount applications in the 2824 (7260 Metric) package format with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part maintains active product status and is available in tape and reel packaging. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the same package footprint and rated voltage.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T95R686K025LSAL is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 68 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 25 V (exact match required)
• Package footprint: 2824 (7260 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match or wider range acceptable)

The TAZV686K025LBSB0024 from KYOCERA AVX meets all substitution criteria. While the coating type differs (molded versus conformal coated), both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions within tolerance, and the same package footprint, making them functionally interchangeable in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T95R686K025LSAL and TAZV686K025LBSB0024 are active products with identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability and lead time requirements
• Packaging format preference (tape and reel versus bulk)
• Compliance requirements specific to the application (both are RoHS non-compliant)
• Moisture sensitivity level tolerance (T95R686K025LSAL: 2A at 4 weeks; TAZV686K025LBSB0024: 3 at 168 hours)

The dimensional variations between parts are within standard manufacturing tolerances for the 2824 package and do not affect PCB layout or assembly compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TAZV686K025LBSB0024 be used as a direct replacement for the T95R686K025LSAL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (68 µF), tolerance (±10%), voltage rating (25 V), package footprint (2824), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The difference in coating type (molded versus conformal coated) does not affect electrical performance in standard circuit applications.

Q: What is the significance of the different coating types?

A: Conformal coated and molded tantalum capacitors differ in their protective coating method. Both provide protection against environmental factors. The choice between them depends on application-specific environmental exposure requirements and industry standards applicable to the end product.

Q: Are there dimensional differences that affect PCB layout?

A: Dimensional variations exist within standard manufacturing tolerances. The T95R686K025LSAL measures 7.20mm x 6.00mm with a maximum height of 3.80mm, while the TAZV686K025LBSB0024 measures 7.30mm x 6.10mm with a maximum height of 3.75mm. These differences are within the 2824 package specification and do not require PCB redesign.

Q: What is the difference in moisture sensitivity levels?

A: The T95R686K025LSAL has MSL 2A (4 weeks), while the TAZV686K025LBSB0024 has MSL 3 (168 hours). MSL ratings indicate the maximum time a component can be exposed to moisture at specified temperature and humidity before soldering. Higher MSL numbers allow longer storage periods under controlled conditions.

Q: Do both parts have the same RoHS compliance status?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is required for your application, alternative components must be sourced.
