Vishay Sprague T97F226M063CSB Tantalum Capacitor: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Vishay Sprague T97F226M063CSB is a 22 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor rated for 63 V operation in a 3024 (7660 Metric) surface mount package. This component is part of the TANTAMOUNT™ T97 series and maintains an active product status. The part is specified with ±20% capacitance tolerance and 250 mOhm equivalent series resistance (ESR). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are required, particularly when tolerance specifications or compliance requirements differ from the original design.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the T97F226M063CSB are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

Capacitance: 22 µF
Voltage Rating: 63 V
ESR: 250 mOhm
Type: Conformal Coated

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

Package / Case: 3024 (7660 Metric)
Mounting Type: Surface Mount
Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 85°C
Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks)

Allowable Variation:

Tolerance: ±10% (tighter than original ±20%, providing improved performance margin)

All three substitute parts (T97F226K063EAB, T97F226K063LSA, T97F226K063LSB) meet these criteria with tighter tolerance specifications, making them direct functional equivalents with enhanced precision characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts maintain active product status and are manufactured by Vishay Sprague within the TANTAMOUNT™ T97 series. Selection among the substitutes should be based on the following compliance and availability factors:

T97F226K063EAB: Available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging. RoHS non-compliant. REACH Affected status applies.

T97F226K063LSA: Available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. RoHS non-compliant. REACH Unaffected status applies. Highest inventory availability (2451 Pcs).

T97F226K063LSB: Available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. RoHS non-compliant. No REACH status specified.

All substitute parts feature ±10% tolerance, providing tighter capacitance control compared to the original ±20% specification. This represents an improvement in precision without altering electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T97F226K063EAB, T97F226K063LSA, or T97F226K063LSB be used as direct replacements for T97F226M063CSB?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical parameters (22 µF, 63 V, 250 mOhm ESR), conformal coating type, and mechanical specifications (3024 package, surface mount, -55°C to 85°C operating range). The substitute parts feature ±10% tolerance versus the original ±20%, representing improved precision.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and regulatory compliance status. T97F226K063EAB is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. T97F226K063LSA and T97F226K063LSB are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. REACH compliance status differs: T97F226K063LSA is REACH Unaffected, while the others have different REACH designations. All three are RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are there any dimensional or thermal differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: No. All parts maintain identical dimensions (0.299" L x 0.236" W, 7.60 mm x 6.00 mm), maximum seated height (0.201" / 5.10 mm), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C).

Q: Does the ±10% tolerance of substitute parts affect circuit design?

A: The ±10% tolerance is tighter than the original ±20%, meaning substitute parts will have capacitance values closer to the nominal 22 µF specification. This represents improved performance margin and does not introduce compatibility issues.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: All parts, including the main part and substitutes, are rated 2A (4 Weeks), indicating identical moisture handling requirements during storage and assembly.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: All parts carry High Reliability features and COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) ratings as specified by Vishay Sprague.
