TAP104M050CCS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TAP104M050CCS is a 0.1 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor rated for 50 V operation in radial through-hole configuration. Manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, this component is classified as Active product status and is suitable for general-purpose applications requiring reliable energy storage in compact form factors. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts becomes necessary when addressing inventory constraints, packaging format requirements, or tolerance specifications for specific circuit design needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TAP104M050CCS is permissible when the following core electrical and mechanical parameters remain constant or improve:

• Capacitance value: 0.1 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 50 V (minimum, equal or higher acceptable)
• Type: Conformal coated tantalum (same technology required)
• ESR: 26 Ohm (matching specification)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (minimum required)
• Mounting configuration: Through hole radial (physical compatibility)
• Package dimensions: 0.177" diameter, 0.335" height, 0.197" lead spacing (footprint compatibility)

The TAP104K050CRW qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. The tolerance specification may be tightened from ±20% to ±10% without compromising circuit functionality, as this represents improved accuracy. Packaging format differences (Bulk versus Cut Tape) do not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TAP104K050CRW serves as a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the TAP104M050CCS. Both components maintain Active product status from KYOCERA AVX and satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected classifications. The tightened tolerance specification of ±10% in the substitute part provides improved capacitance accuracy without introducing any compatibility concerns. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging availability (Bulk versus Cut Tape format) and inventory requirements rather than electrical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP104K050CRW replace TAP104M050CCS in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (0.1 µF, 50 V, 26 Ohm ESR, -55°C to 125°C operating range) and mechanical dimensions (0.177" diameter, 0.335" height, 0.197" lead spacing). The substitute part's tighter tolerance (±10% versus ±20%) does not create compatibility issues.

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

A: Bulk packaging supplies loose components, while Cut Tape (CT) provides components on adhesive tape in specified quantities. Both formats contain identical components; packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and order quantity needs.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both TAP104M050CCS and TAP104K050CRW maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and ECCN/HTSUS classifications.

Q: Why would a design engineer choose the substitute part?

A: The TAP104K050CRW may be selected when Cut Tape packaging format aligns with assembly operations, when higher inventory availability is required, or when the improved ±10% tolerance specification provides design margin benefits.

Q: Are the thermal and lifetime characteristics identical?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C and maintain 1000 hours lifetime rating at 85°C operating temperature.
