Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TAP155K035CCS is a direct substitute for the TAP155K016CCS in applications where the circuit design permits operation at the higher voltage rating. Both components maintain identical mechanical form factors, identical capacitance and tolerance specifications, and identical operating temperature ranges. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and manufactured by KYOCERA AVX within the same TAP series.

The TAP155K035CCS provides enhanced voltage margin (35 V versus 16 V) and reduced ESR (6 Ohm versus 10 Ohm), making it suitable for designs requiring improved reliability headroom or lower impedance performance. The substitute part is functionally interchangeable from a board-level assembly perspective, requiring no PCB layout modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP155K035CCS replace TAP155K016CCS in any application?

A: The TAP155K035CCS is mechanically and electrically compatible with the TAP155K016CCS. The substitute part operates at a higher voltage rating (35 V versus 16 V) and exhibits lower ESR (6 Ohm versus 10 Ohm). Substitution is valid when the circuit design accommodates the higher voltage rating. No PCB modifications are required.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are voltage rating and ESR. The TAP155K035CCS is rated for 35 V operation with 6 Ohm ESR, while the TAP155K016CCS is rated for 16 V operation with 10 Ohm ESR. All other specifications—capacitance, tolerance, package dimensions, temperature range, and conformal coating—are identical.

Q: Are both parts available in the same package?

A: Yes. Both the TAP155K016CCS and TAP155K035CCS are supplied in identical radial through-hole packages with 0.177" diameter (4.50 mm), 0.335" maximum seated height (8.50 mm), and 0.197" lead spacing (5.00 mm). No board layout changes are necessary for substitution.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the TAP155K016CCS and TAP155K035CCS are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Both maintain identical operating temperature ranges of -55°C to 125°C and identical lifetime specifications of 1000 hours at 85°C.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on the circuit's voltage requirements. If the design operates at or below 16 V, either part is acceptable. If voltage margin is desired or if the design operates above 16 V, the TAP155K035CCS is the appropriate choice. The lower ESR of the TAP155K035CCS may provide performance benefits in high-frequency or low-impedance applications.
