Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the TAP226M016FCS is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance: 22 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• ESR: 2Ohm (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.236" Dia (6.00mm), Height 0.453" (11.50mm), Lead Spacing 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
• Manufacturer Size Code: F (exact match required)

Tolerance may vary within the allowed range for this product category. Parts with improved tolerance specifications (tighter tolerance) are classified as upgrades and remain functionally compatible.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. The TAP226M016CCS provides direct substitution with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The TAP226K016CCS offers an upgrade path with improved tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%), maintaining all other critical parameters while providing tighter capacitance accuracy. Selection between these parts depends on application tolerance requirements and inventory availability. All parts are suitable for through-hole PCB assembly with identical footprint and lead spacing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP226M016CCS replace TAP226M016FCS in existing designs? A: Yes. TAP226M016CCS is a direct substitute with identical electrical specifications, tolerance, voltage rating, ESR, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between TAP226M016FCS and TAP226K016CCS? A: The primary difference is tolerance specification. TAP226K016CCS features ±10% tolerance compared to ±20% for TAP226M016FCS. All other parameters including capacitance, voltage, ESR, temperature range, and physical dimensions are identical. TAP226K016CCS is suitable for applications requiring tighter capacitance accuracy.

Q: Are all substitute parts pin-compatible? A: Yes. All three parts share identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), radial package configuration, and through-hole mounting type. PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: Do substitute parts meet the same compliance requirements? A: Yes. All parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance profile of the main part.

Q: What is the physical footprint compatibility? A: All parts maintain identical dimensions: 0.236" diameter (6.00mm), maximum seated height of 0.453" (11.50mm), and lead spacing of 0.197" (5.00mm). Physical board layout compatibility is maintained across all substitutes.
