Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the T97R227K020ESA are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

• Capacitance value: 220 µF
• Voltage rating: 20 V
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Type: Conformal Coated
• ESR: 80 mOhm
• Package / Case: 3024 (7660 Metric)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 85°C
• Mounting type: Surface Mount

Parts matching all these parameters are classified as direct parametric equivalents and may be substituted without circuit redesign.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the T97R227K020ESA and T97R227K020LSA are active products from Vishay Sprague with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations. Both components maintain RoHS non-compliant status and are rated for COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) applications. The conformal coating provides environmental protection suitable for high-reliability applications across the specified operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can T97R227K020LSA be used as a direct replacement for T97R227K020ESA?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical capacitance (220 µF), voltage rating (20 V), tolerance (±10%), ESR (80 mOhm), package (3024), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical dimensions: 0.299" L x 0.236" W (7.60 mm x 6.00 mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.157" (4.00 mm). They are fully compatible for PCB layout and assembly.

Q: What does the conformal coating provide?

A: Conformal coating offers environmental protection and improved reliability in applications exposed to moisture, temperature cycling, or harsh operating conditions. Both parts feature this coating.

Q: Are these parts suitable for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: No. Both T97R227K020ESA and T97R227K020LSA are RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance require alternative component selection.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level, and what does it mean?

A: Both parts are rated MSL 2A (4 Weeks), indicating they can be exposed to moisture for up to 4 weeks at specified humidity levels before soldering. Proper storage and handling procedures must be followed to maintain component integrity.
