TAP226M006SCS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TAP226M006SCS is a 22 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor rated at 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX in the TAP series. This through-hole radial component is designed for general-purpose applications requiring reliable energy storage in compact form factors. The part is currently active in production with 862 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when design requirements allow for higher voltage ratings or improved tolerance specifications while maintaining the same capacitance value, mounting type, and core electrical characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the TAP226M006SCS is permissible under the following conditions:

Allowed Parameter Variations:

• Voltage rating may increase from 6.3 V to 10 V (higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin)
• Tolerance may improve from ±20% to ±10% (tighter tolerance is acceptable)
• ESR may decrease from 3.7 Ohm to 2.7 Ohm (lower ESR is acceptable)
• Physical dimensions may increase slightly to accommodate higher voltage rating

Fixed Parameters (No Substitution Allowed):

• Capacitance must remain 22 µF
• Mounting type must remain Through Hole
• Package type must remain Radial
• Conformal coating must be maintained
• Operating temperature range must remain -55°C ~ 125°C
• RoHS3 compliance must be maintained

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TAP226M010SCS is a direct substitute when circuit design permits a 10 V rated component. This part maintains ±20% tolerance matching the original specification while providing improved ESR performance (2.7 Ohm vs. 3.7 Ohm). The increased voltage rating offers additional operational margin. Physical dimensions increase marginally (0.217" vs. 0.197" diameter), requiring verification of PCB layout clearance. All compliance certifications remain equivalent.

TAP226K010SCS is a substitute when both higher voltage rating and tighter tolerance (±10%) are acceptable. This part provides the lowest ESR (2.7 Ohm) among the three options and represents the highest specification variant. The same dimensional increase applies. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications requiring enhanced capacitance accuracy.

Both substitute parts are active products with higher inventory availability than the original part, supporting supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP226M010SCS replace TAP226M006SCS in any application? A: TAP226M010SCS is a valid substitute when the circuit operates at or below 6.3 V. The 10 V rating provides additional safety margin. Verify PCB layout accommodates the slightly larger 0.217" diameter (vs. 0.197").

Q: What is the difference between TAP226M010SCS and TAP226K010SCS? A: Both are 22 µF, 10 V rated parts with identical ESR (2.7 Ohm) and physical dimensions. The primary difference is tolerance: TAP226M010SCS offers ±20% while TAP226K010SCS offers ±10%. Select TAP226K010SCS when tighter capacitance accuracy is required.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts? A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and share identical operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C). No compliance restrictions apply to substitution.

Q: Will substituting to a higher voltage rating affect circuit performance? A: Higher voltage rating does not degrade performance. The substitute parts feature lower ESR (2.7 Ohm vs. 3.7 Ohm), which may improve transient response characteristics. Capacitance value remains 22 µF in all cases.

Q: What is the lead spacing for these parts? A: All three parts maintain 0.098" (2.50mm) lead spacing, ensuring identical PCB footprint compatibility at the lead holes.
