Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the TAP156M025CCS is determined by maintaining equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance: 15 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 25 V (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.236" Dia (6.00mm), Height 0.453" (11.50mm), Lead Spacing 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• ESR: 2 Ohm (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Compliance: RoHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The TAP156K025CCS qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical performance across all mechanical and electrical parameters. The tolerance specification differs (±10% versus ±20%), representing an upgrade in capacitance accuracy while maintaining all other critical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TAP156M025CCS and TAP156K025CCS maintain active product status with full regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts is determined by tolerance requirements:

• TAP156M025CCS: Select when ±20% capacitance tolerance is acceptable for the application.
• TAP156K025CCS: Select when tighter ±10% capacitance tolerance is required for improved circuit performance or when higher accuracy is specified in design requirements.

Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, ensuring compliance with current environmental and regulatory standards. Mechanical and electrical parameters are identical, permitting direct substitution in through-hole PCB applications without layout or footprint modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP156K025CCS replace TAP156M025CCS in existing designs?
