Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TAP227K016CCS qualifies as a direct substitute for the TAP227M016CCS based on the following criteria:

Identical Parameters:

• Capacitance: 220 µF
• Voltage Rating: 16 V
• Type: Conformal Coated
• ESR: 500 mOhm
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to 125°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Radial
• Physical Dimensions: 0.394" Dia (10.00mm), Height 0.728" (18.50mm), Lead Spacing 0.197" (5.00mm)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Series: TAP

Differentiating Parameter:

• Tolerance: TAP227K016CCS features ±10% tolerance versus ±20% for the TAP227M016CCS

This tolerance improvement makes the TAP227K016CCS suitable for applications requiring tighter capacitance specifications while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TAP227M016CCS and TAP227K016CCS are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and deployment.

Selection between these parts depends on tolerance requirements:

• TAP227M016CCS (±20% tolerance): Suitable for general-purpose applications where capacitance variation within ±20% is acceptable.
• TAP227K016CCS (±10% tolerance): Required for applications demanding tighter capacitance specifications and improved performance consistency.

The TAP227K016CCS offers superior availability with 1919 units in stock compared to 710 units for the TAP227M016CCS, making it the preferred choice when tolerance requirements permit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP227K016CCS replace TAP227M016CCS in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the application tolerates ±10% capacitance variation. The TAP227K016CCS offers tighter tolerance, making it a direct electrical and mechanical substitute. All physical dimensions, voltage ratings, and thermal characteristics remain identical.

Q: Are there differences in physical footprint between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical radial package dimensions: 0.394" diameter (10.00mm), 0.728" maximum seated height (18.50mm), and 0.197" lead spacing (5.00mm). PCB layout and mounting procedures remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference?

A: Tolerance defines the acceptable range of actual capacitance values. The TAP227M016CCS permits 176–264 µF variation, while TAP227K016CCS restricts variation to 198–242 µF. Applications requiring predictable capacitance performance benefit from the tighter ±10% specification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both TAP227M016CCS and TAP227K016CCS are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, TAP227K016CCS is recommended when tolerance requirements permit, due to superior availability and improved capacitance consistency. The ±10% tolerance provides better performance predictability in most general-purpose applications.
