TAP226M006SPA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TAP226M006SPA is a 22 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor rated at 6.3 V with radial through-hole mounting. Manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, this component is in active production status and designed for general-purpose applications requiring reliable energy storage in compact form factors. Substitute parts become necessary when design requirements demand higher voltage ratings, improved tolerance specifications, or enhanced availability to support production schedules.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the TAP226M006SPA is determined by the following allowable parameter variations:

Capacitance: Must remain 22 µF (no deviation permitted)

Voltage Rating: May increase from 6.3 V to higher ratings (10 V acceptable). Higher voltage ratings provide design margin and are electrically compatible in applications requiring 6.3 V or less.

Tolerance: May improve from ±20% to ±10%. Tighter tolerance specifications are acceptable substitutes.

ESR: May decrease from 3.7 Ohm to lower values (2.7 Ohm acceptable). Lower ESR improves performance characteristics.

Physical Dimensions: Minor increases in diameter and manufacturer size code are acceptable provided lead spacing remains compatible (0.098" / 2.50mm maintained).

Conformal Coating & Temperature Range: Must be maintained as specified.

Compliance: RoHS3 compliance required; REACH unaffected status maintained.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are manufactured by KYOCERA AVX and maintain active production status with full ROHS3 compliance. Selection between TAP226M010SCS and TAP226K010SCS depends on tolerance requirements:

TAP226M010SCS maintains the ±20% tolerance specification of the original part while providing 10 V rating and reduced ESR. This option is suitable for applications where tolerance matching is a design requirement.

TAP226K010SCS offers improved ±10% tolerance with identical 10 V rating and ESR performance. This option is appropriate for designs requiring tighter capacitance accuracy.

Both substitutes provide higher voltage ratings and lower ESR than the original part, resulting in improved design margin and reduced ripple current effects. All three parts share identical lead spacing, enabling direct board-level substitution without layout modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP226M010SCS or TAP226K010SCS be used as direct replacements for TAP226M006SPA?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical capacitance (22 µF), lead spacing (2.50mm), mounting type (through-hole radial), and operating temperature range. The higher voltage ratings (10 V vs. 6.3 V) and lower ESR values represent performance improvements compatible with the original application.

Q: What is the difference between TAP226M010SCS and TAP226K010SCS?

A: Both parts share identical voltage rating (10 V), ESR (2.7 Ohm), and physical dimensions. The primary difference is tolerance: TAP226M010SCS maintains ±20% tolerance matching the original part, while TAP226K010SCS provides tighter ±10% tolerance. Select based on your circuit's capacitance accuracy requirements.

Q: Will the physical size difference affect PCB layout?

A: The diameter increases from 5.00mm to 5.50mm, and the manufacturer size code changes from D to E. Height remains 9.00mm maximum. Lead spacing is maintained at 2.50mm, so existing through-hole positions remain compatible. Verify clearance around the component footprint for the increased diameter.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. TAP226M006SPA, TAP226M010SCS, and TAP226K010SCS are all ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Which substitute should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs, TAP226K010SCS is preferred due to improved ±10% tolerance and higher voltage rating, providing better design margin and capacitance accuracy. TAP226M010SCS is appropriate when tolerance matching the original specification is required.
