Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the TAP225K016FCS is determined by the following critical parameters:

Direct Equivalent Substitution:

• Capacitance: 2.2 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 16 V (minimum requirement)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.177" Dia (4.50mm), Height 0.335" (8.50mm), Lead Spacing 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)

Upgrade Substitution:

• Voltage Rating: 25 V (higher rating, same capacitance and physical form factor)
• ESR: May vary within acceptable performance parameters

The TAP225K016CCS qualifies as a direct equivalent substitute, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The TAP225K025CCS qualifies as an upgrade substitute, providing increased voltage margin while preserving all other critical parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TAP225K016CCS (Direct Equivalent): This part is suitable for direct replacement of TAP225K016FCS. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications, physical dimensions, and compliance certifications. Selection is appropriate when inventory availability or procurement lead times necessitate substitution without design modification.

TAP225K025CCS (Upgrade Substitute): This part provides increased voltage rating (25 V versus 16 V) while maintaining the same capacitance value, physical form factor, and conformal coating specification. The upgrade option is suitable for applications requiring enhanced voltage margin or improved reliability under transient voltage conditions. The reduced ESR (6 Ohm versus 8 Ohm) provides additional performance benefit. All components maintain ROHS3 compliance and Active product status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP225K016CCS be used as a direct replacement for TAP225K016FCS? A: Yes. TAP225K016CCS is a direct equivalent substitute with identical capacitance (2.2 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±10%), conformal coating type, physical dimensions, and lead spacing. Both are KYOCERA AVX products with Active status.

Q: What is the difference between TAP225K016FCS and TAP225K025CCS? A: The primary difference is voltage rating: TAP225K025CCS is rated at 25 V compared to 16 V for TAP225K016FCS. Both maintain 2.2 µF capacitance and identical physical dimensions. TAP225K025CCS also features lower ESR (6 Ohm versus 8 Ohm).

Q: Can TAP225K025CCS replace TAP225K016FCS in any application? A: TAP225K025CCS is mechanically and electrically compatible with TAP225K016FCS for applications where the circuit voltage does not exceed 16 V. The higher voltage rating of TAP225K025CCS does not create compatibility issues in lower voltage circuits. Physical dimensions and lead spacing are identical, ensuring PCB compatibility.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. TAP225K016FCS, TAP225K016CCS, and TAP225K025CCS are all ROHS3 compliant and maintain Active product status.

Q: What is the significance of conformal coating on these capacitors? A: Conformal coating provides environmental protection and is specified for all three parts in this substitution group. This coating protects against moisture, dust, and chemical contamination, making these components suitable for harsh operating environments.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all three parts? A: Yes. All three parts share identical physical dimensions: 0.177" diameter (4.50mm), maximum seated height of 0.335" (8.50mm), and lead spacing of 0.197" (5.00mm). This ensures direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.
