TAP226K025GSB Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TAP226K025GSB is a 22 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor rated at 25 V with radial through-hole mounting. This component is manufactured by KYOCERA AVX and is currently in active production status. Tantalum capacitors of this specification are used in applications requiring stable capacitance, low ESR, and reliable performance across extended temperature ranges. Finding equivalent or substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TAP226K025GSB is permissible with parts that maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. The critical parameters that determine substitutability are:

• Capacitance value: 22 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 25 V (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• ESR: 1.5 Ohm (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Lifetime @ 85°C: 1000 Hrs (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package: Radial (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.276" Dia (7.00 mm) and 0.472" (12.00 mm) height (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The TAP226K025CCS is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. This part shares all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with the main part number, with the exception of lead spacing, which differs from 0.125" (3.18 mm) to 0.197" (5.00 mm). This lead spacing variation must be evaluated against specific PCB layout requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TAP226K025GSB and TAP226K025CCS are active production parts manufactured by KYOCERA AVX and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. The electrical performance characteristics—capacitance, voltage rating, ESR, temperature range, and lifetime specifications—are identical between the two part numbers.

The primary consideration for selection is lead spacing. The TAP226K025GSB features 0.125" (3.18 mm) lead spacing, while the TAP226K025CCS features 0.197" (5.00 mm) lead spacing. PCB layout and hole pattern design must accommodate the selected lead spacing. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 22 µF capacitance at 25 V with conformal coating protection and through-hole mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP226K025CCS be used as a direct replacement for TAP226K025GSB?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. Both parts share identical capacitance, voltage rating, ESR, temperature range, and lifetime specifications. However, the lead spacing differs (0.125" versus 0.197"), which requires PCB layout compatibility verification.

Q: What is the significance of lead spacing in tantalum capacitor selection?

A: Lead spacing determines the distance between component leads on the PCB. The TAP226K025GSB uses 0.125" (3.18 mm) spacing, while the TAP226K025CCS uses 0.197" (5.00 mm) spacing. PCB hole patterns must match the selected part's lead spacing for proper mounting.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TAP226K025GSB and TAP226K025CCS are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications with RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these capacitors?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C with a lifetime specification of 1000 hours at 85°C.

Q: Why would I choose one part over the other if they have identical electrical specifications?

A: Selection depends on PCB design requirements. The lead spacing difference (0.125" versus 0.197") is the determining factor. Choose based on your existing PCB hole pattern and layout constraints.
