TAP106M025GSB Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TAP106M025GSB is a 10 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor rated for 25 V with ±20% tolerance, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX. This radial through-hole component is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance performance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to inventory constraints, design flexibility, or application-specific tolerance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TAP106M025GSB is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters: capacitance value (10 µF), voltage rating (25 V), conformal coating type, ESR (2.5 Ohm), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), mounting type (through hole radial), and size code (E). Tolerance variations are permitted within the allowed range for this product category. Lead spacing differences are acceptable provided the radial package footprint remains compatible with standard PCB layouts for this component class.

The identified substitutes maintain all critical electrical parameters while allowing for tolerance optimization (±10% vs. ±20%) and lead spacing configuration variations (0.125" vs. 0.197").

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—TAP106M025GSB, TAP106K025GSB, and TAP106M025CCS—are active production components with identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on tolerance requirements and lead spacing configuration.

TAP106M025GSB and TAP106M025CCS both feature ±20% tolerance and are functionally equivalent except for lead spacing (0.125" vs. 0.197"). The choice between these two depends on PCB layout requirements and lead spacing compatibility with existing footprints.

TAP106K025GSB offers tighter ±10% tolerance while maintaining the same 0.125" lead spacing as the TAP106M025GSB. This part is suitable for applications requiring improved capacitance accuracy.

All parts maintain identical electrical performance in terms of capacitance value, voltage rating, ESR, and operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP106K025GSB replace TAP106M025GSB in all applications?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. TAP106K025GSB provides tighter ±10% tolerance compared to the ±20% tolerance of TAP106M025GSB, while maintaining identical lead spacing (0.125"), voltage rating (25 V), capacitance (10 µF), and ESR (2.5 Ohm). The improved tolerance may benefit applications with stricter capacitance requirements.

Q: What is the difference between TAP106M025GSB and TAP106M025CCS?

A: Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 10 µF capacitance, 25 V rating, ±20% tolerance, 2.5 Ohm ESR, and conformal coating. The primary difference is lead spacing: TAP106M025GSB has 0.125" (3.18mm) spacing, while TAP106M025CCS has 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing. PCB layout compatibility determines which part is appropriate for your application.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. TAP106M025GSB, TAP106K025GSB, and TAP106M025CCS are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Does lead spacing affect electrical performance?

A: No. Lead spacing differences between TAP106M025GSB (0.125") and TAP106M025CCS (0.197") are mechanical design variations that do not affect electrical characteristics. Selection is based on PCB footprint requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these parts?

A: All three parts operate across -55°C to 125°C with a lifetime specification of 1000 hours at 85°C.
