Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the T97R226M050LAB is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 22 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 50 V (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 3024 (7660 Metric) (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• ESR: 220 mOhm (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 85°C (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 2A (4 Weeks) (exact match required)

The T97R226K050LSA qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute. The tolerance specification differs (±10% versus ±20%), which represents a tighter tolerance specification and does not restrict substitution eligibility. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Parameter Comparison
