Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TAP104M050CRW is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 0.1 µF (no deviation permitted)
• Voltage Rating: Must be 50 V or higher
• Type: Must be conformal coated tantalum
• Mounting Configuration: Must be through-hole radial
• ESR: Must be 26 Ohm
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C to 125°C
• Physical Dimensions: Must match 0.177" diameter (4.50 mm) and 0.335" maximum height (8.50 mm)
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance

The TAP104K050CRW qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. The primary distinction is tolerance specification: TAP104K050CRW offers ±10% tolerance compared to the ±20% tolerance of the main part. This represents an upgrade in precision while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TAP104M050CRW and TAP104K050CRW maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on tolerance requirements for the specific application circuit. The TAP104K050CRW provides tighter capacitance tolerance (±10%) and is suitable for applications requiring higher precision in capacitive filtering or timing circuits. The TAP104M050CRW with ±20% tolerance remains appropriate for general-purpose decoupling and energy storage applications where wider tolerance bands are acceptable. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within their respective tolerance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP104K050CRW replace TAP104M050CRW in all applications?

A: Yes, TAP104K050CRW is a direct substitute. The ±10% tolerance of TAP104K050CRW is tighter than the ±20% tolerance of TAP104M050CRW, making it suitable for all applications where TAP104M050CRW is used. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is capacitance tolerance. TAP104M050CRW specifies ±20% tolerance, while TAP104K050CRW specifies ±10% tolerance. All other electrical parameters, physical dimensions, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical radial package dimensions: 0.177" diameter (4.50 mm), 0.335" maximum seated height (8.50 mm), and 0.197" lead spacing (5.00 mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCBs designed for either part.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both TAP104M050CRW and TAP104K050CRW are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting the same environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: TAP104M050CRW is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. TAP104K050CRW is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it only affects procurement and handling procedures.
