TAP226M016SCS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TAP226M016SCS is a 22 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor rated at 16 V with radial through-hole mounting. Manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, this component is classified as Active and suitable for general-purpose applications requiring reliable energy storage in compact form factors. Substitute parts become necessary when addressing supply chain constraints, packaging format requirements, or inventory availability while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TAP226M016SCS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: capacitance value (22 µF), tolerance (±20%), rated voltage (16 V), conformal coating type, operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and through-hole radial mounting configuration. All identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in lead spacing, packaging format (Bulk vs. Cut Tape), and manufacturer size codes do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified parameter set.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitutes—TAP226M016DCS, TAP226M016BRW, and 199D226X0016D1V1E3—maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original TAP226M016SCS. Selection between these equivalents should be based on packaging availability (Bulk vs. Cut Tape format) and lead spacing requirements specific to PCB layout constraints. The TAP226M016DCS and TAP226M016SCS are identical in all specified parameters and differ only in packaging designation. The TAP226M016BRW introduces a lead spacing variation (0.197" vs. 0.098") and Cut Tape packaging, requiring verification of PCB footprint compatibility. The 199D226X0016D1V1E3 from Vishay Sprague represents a cross-manufacturer alternative with equivalent electrical performance; the maximum seated height tolerance (0.400" vs. 0.394") and unspecified ESR value require consideration in applications with strict height or impedance constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP226M016DCS be used as a direct replacement for TAP226M016SCS?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by KYOCERA AVX and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all provided parameters. The difference is packaging format (Bulk designation).

Q: What is the primary difference between TAP226M016BRW and TAP226M016SCS?

A: Lead spacing differs: TAP226M016BRW has 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing versus 0.098" (2.50mm) for TAP226M016SCS. Both maintain identical capacitance, voltage, and temperature ratings. PCB footprint compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Q: Is the Vishay Sprague 199D226X0016D1V1E3 electrically equivalent?

A: The 199D226X0016D1V1E3 matches all critical electrical parameters: 22 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 16 V rating, conformal coating, and -55°C ~ 125°C operating range. ESR is not specified in available data. Maximum seated height is 0.400" compared to 0.394" for the KYOCERA AVX parts.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. TAP226M016DCS, TAP226M016BRW, and 199D226X0016D1V1E3 are all ROHS3 compliant, matching the original part's regulatory status.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: TAP226M016SCS and TAP226M016DCS are supplied in Bulk packaging. TAP226M016BRW is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. 199D226X0016D1V1E3 is supplied in Bulk packaging.

Q: Can lead spacing differences affect circuit performance?

A: Lead spacing affects PCB layout and footprint compatibility only. Electrical performance remains equivalent across all substitutes when properly installed within their respective footprint specifications.
