Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the T97F336M050LAB are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Identical capacitance value: 33 µF
• Identical voltage rating: 50 V
• Identical package / case: 3024 (7660 Metric)
• Identical ESR: 150 mOhm
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 85°C
• Identical mounting type: Surface Mount
• Identical series: TANTAMOUNT™ T97
• Identical conformal coating type

The primary distinction among qualified substitutes is tolerance specification. The main part T97F336M050LAB carries ±20% tolerance, while all listed substitutes carry ±10% tolerance, representing a tighter tolerance specification. All substitutes maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts (T97F336K050CAA, T97F336K050EAA, T97F336K050LSB) are direct parametric equivalents to the T97F336M050LAB with tighter tolerance specifications. Selection among substitutes should be based on:

• RoHS compliance requirements: T97F336K050CAA is RoHS3 compliant; T97F336K050EAA and T97F336K050LSB are RoHS non-compliant
• Packaging format: T97F336K050CAA and T97F336K050EAA are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR); T97F336K050LSB is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®
• Inventory availability: T97F336K050CAA (1592 pcs), T97F336K050EAA (1584 pcs), T97F336K050LSB (750 pcs)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T97F336K050CAA replace T97F336M050LAB in all applications?

A: Yes. T97F336K050CAA is a direct parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The ±10% tolerance of the substitute is tighter than the ±20% tolerance of the original part, making it suitable for applications requiring improved capacitance accuracy.

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

A: The three substitutes are electrically and mechanically identical. Differences exist in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) and RoHS compliance status. T97F336K050CAA is RoHS3 compliant, while T97F336K050EAA and T97F336K050LSB are not.

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

A: The tighter ±10% tolerance of substitute parts provides improved capacitance accuracy compared to the ±20% tolerance of the original part. This may improve circuit performance in applications sensitive to capacitance variation, but does not degrade performance in applications designed for the original ±20% tolerance specification.

Q: Are all substitutes compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All parts use the identical 3024 (7660 Metric) package with matching dimensions (0.299" L x 0.236" W, 7.60mm x 6.00mm) and maximum seated height (0.201", 5.10mm), ensuring direct mechanical compatibility.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs requiring RoHS compliance, T97F336K050CAA is the appropriate selection. For applications without RoHS requirements, all three substitutes are equivalent from an electrical and mechanical standpoint; selection should be based on packaging format preference and inventory availability.
