Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TAP156K025GSB is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 15 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 25 V (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• ESR: 2 Ohm (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial (exact match required)
• Diameter: 0.236" (6.00mm) (exact match required)
• Height: 0.453" (11.50mm) (exact match required)
• Compliance: RoHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (exact match required)

The TAP156K025CCS meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TAP156K025GSB and TAP156K025CCS are active production parts manufactured by KYOCERA AVX with identical electrical specifications and compliance certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Lead Spacing Consideration: The TAP156K025CCS features a lead spacing of 0.197" (5.00mm) compared to the TAP156K025GSB at 0.125" (3.18mm). This difference requires verification against printed circuit board layout and hole spacing specifications to ensure mechanical compatibility during assembly.

Inventory Availability: TAP156K025CCS maintains higher stock levels (1161 Pcs) relative to TAP156K025GSB (661 Pcs), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility across global markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP156K025CCS be used as a direct replacement for TAP156K025GSB?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. Both parts share identical capacitance (15 µF), voltage rating (25 V), tolerance (±10%), ESR (2 Ohm), temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and compliance certifications. However, lead spacing differs (0.197" vs 0.125"), requiring PCB layout verification before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of lead spacing in substitution?

A: Lead spacing determines the distance between component leads on the printed circuit board. The TAP156K025CCS has wider lead spacing (5.00mm) than the TAP156K025GSB (3.18mm). PCB hole patterns must accommodate the substitute part's lead spacing to ensure proper mechanical fit and solder joint formation.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C with a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C, making them suitable for applications requiring extended thermal performance within these specifications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: Both TAP156K025GSB and TAP156K025CCS are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements for electronic components in regulated markets.

Q: How do I determine which part is appropriate for my application?

A: Verify that your PCB layout accommodates the lead spacing of the substitute part (0.197" for TAP156K025CCS). Confirm that all electrical parameters (capacitance, voltage, tolerance, ESR, temperature range) match your circuit requirements. Both parts are electrically equivalent when lead spacing compatibility is established.
