Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the TAP226M025CLR is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 22 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 25 V (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal coated tantalum (exact match required)
• ESR: 1.5 Ohm (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through hole radial (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.276" Dia, 0.472" height, 0.197" lead spacing (exact match required)
• Lifetime specification: 1000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)

The TAP226K025CCS qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The tolerance specification differs (±10% versus ±20%), which represents an upgrade in precision without affecting functional compatibility. Both parts share identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TAP226M025CLR and TAP226K025CCS are active production parts with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compliance for current and future applications. Selection between these parts depends on tolerance requirements and packaging format availability.

The TAP226M025CLR with ±20% tolerance is suitable for general-purpose applications where capacitance variation within this range does not impact circuit performance. The TAP226K025CCS with ±10% tolerance provides tighter capacitance control for applications requiring greater precision. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance characteristics, physical dimensions, and thermal specifications, making them directly interchangeable at the circuit level.

Packaging format differs between the two parts: TAP226M025CLR is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while TAP226K025CCS is supplied in Bulk format. Selection should account for procurement volume and assembly process requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP226K025CCS replace TAP226M025CLR in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all critical parameters including capacitance, voltage rating, ESR, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions.
