Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between TAP104K050GSB and TAP104K050CRW is based on electrical equivalence with packaging variation. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 0.1 µF capacitance, ±10% tolerance, 50 V rating, 26 Ohm ESR, and conformal coating. The primary difference is packaging format and lead spacing. TAP104K050GSB is supplied in Bulk packaging with 0.125" (3.18mm) lead spacing, while TAP104K050CRW is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging with 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing. Both maintain the same physical diameter (0.177" / 4.50mm) and height (0.335" / 8.50mm), and both are ROHS3 compliant with identical thermal and reliability characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TAP104K050GSB and TAP104K050CRW are Active status components with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical performance. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements:

TAP104K050GSB is appropriate for applications requiring 0.125" (3.18mm) lead spacing on PCB layouts designed for this pitch. This part is supplied in Bulk packaging.

TAP104K050CRW is appropriate for applications requiring 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing on PCB layouts designed for this pitch. This part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format.

Both parts satisfy identical electrical requirements, thermal performance, and regulatory compliance. The substitution decision is determined solely by PCB layout lead spacing requirements and packaging format availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP104K050CRW replace TAP104K050GSB in my circuit?

A: Electrical substitution is valid if your PCB layout accommodates 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing instead of 0.125" (3.18mm). Both parts deliver identical capacitance, voltage rating, ESR, and thermal performance.

Q: What is the difference between Bulk and Cut Tape (CT) packaging?

A: Bulk packaging supplies loose components, while Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape for automated assembly equipment. The electrical and mechanical specifications of the component itself remain identical.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. No compliance differences exist.

Q: Does lead spacing affect circuit performance?

A: Lead spacing affects only PCB layout compatibility. Electrical performance, capacitance, voltage rating, and ESR are identical regardless of lead spacing configuration.

Q: Can I use TAP104K050GSB if my design specifies TAP104K050CRW?

A: Substitution is valid only if your PCB layout can accommodate 0.125" (3.18mm) lead spacing instead of 0.197" (5.00mm). Physical board layout compatibility must be confirmed before substitution.
