Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TAP226K016HSB is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance: 22 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• ESR: 2 Ohm (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Lifetime @ Temp.: 1000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.236" Dia (6.00mm), Height 0.453" (11.50mm) (exact match required)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The TAP226K016CCS qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all electrical and mechanical parameters. The only variance is lead spacing (0.197" vs. 0.250"), which represents a mechanical accommodation parameter that does not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility in applications where PCB layout permits reduced lead spacing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TAP226K016HSB and TAP226K016CCS maintain Active product status and carry identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certifications. Selection between these parts is determined by PCB layout requirements:

• TAP226K016HSB: Standard lead spacing of 0.250" (6.35mm) for conventional through-hole PCB designs
• TAP226K016CCS: Reduced lead spacing of 0.197" (5.00mm) for compact PCB layouts requiring tighter component pitch

Both parts deliver equivalent electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and reliability metrics. Component selection should be based on PCB footprint compatibility and available inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP226K016CCS replace TAP226K016HSB in any application?

A: TAP226K016CCS is electrically and mechanically equivalent to TAP226K016HSB. The primary consideration is lead spacing: TAP226K016CCS features 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing versus TAP226K016HSB's 0.250" (6.35mm) spacing. Substitution is valid only if the PCB footprint accommodates the reduced lead spacing.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification. Regulatory and environmental compliance is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the lead spacing difference?

A: Lead spacing affects PCB hole placement and component density. TAP226K016CCS allows for tighter component spacing on the circuit board. This is a mechanical accommodation parameter that does not impact electrical performance, capacitance, voltage rating, or thermal characteristics.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both TAP226K016HSB and TAP226K016CCS operate across -55°C to 125°C with identical lifetime specifications of 1000 hours at 85°C.

Q: How do I determine which part to use?

A: Verify your PCB footprint lead spacing requirement. If your design specifies 0.250" (6.35mm) spacing, use TAP226K016HSB. If your design specifies 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing, use TAP226K016CCS. Both deliver identical electrical performance.
