Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of TAP155M016CCS is permissible when the following conditions are met:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Capacitance value must remain 1.5 µF (no deviation)
• Rated voltage must be equal to or greater than 16 V
• Package type must remain Radial with identical mechanical dimensions (0.177" Dia, 0.335" Max Height, 0.197" Lead Spacing)
• Mounting type must remain Through Hole
• Conformal coating type must be maintained
• Operating temperature range must encompass -55°C ~ 125°C

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Tolerance may be tighter (±10% acceptable for ±20% requirement)
• ESR may be lower (improved performance characteristic)
• Rated voltage may exceed 16 V (provides design margin)

The substitute part TAP155K035CCS meets all substitution criteria by maintaining identical capacitance, package geometry, and mounting configuration while providing enhanced voltage rating and improved tolerance specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TAP155M016CCS and TAP155K035CCS are Active product status components manufactured by KYOCERA AVX and maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The substitute part TAP155K035CCS provides design advantages through higher voltage rating (35 V versus 16 V) and improved tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%), while maintaining identical physical dimensions and conformal coating protection. Selection between these parts depends on application voltage requirements and tolerance specifications. Both components are suitable for direct substitution in through-hole PCB applications requiring 1.5 µF capacitance in the TAP series radial package format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP155K035CCS replace TAP155M016CCS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (1.5 µF), package geometry (Radial, 0.177" Dia, 0.335" Max Height), lead spacing (0.197"), and mounting type (Through Hole). The substitute part operates within the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and maintains conformal coating protection.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: TAP155K035CCS provides higher voltage rating (35 V versus 16 V), tighter tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), and lower ESR (6 Ohm versus 10 Ohm). These represent performance improvements while maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns?

A: No. Both parts use identical Manufacturer Size Code (A) and share the same physical dimensions. PCB footprints and mounting requirements are identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both TAP155M016CCS and TAP155K035CCS are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the conformal coating?

A: Conformal coating provides environmental protection for both parts, enabling operation in harsh conditions while maintaining the same -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature range and 1000 Hrs @ 85°C lifetime specification.
