Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TAP334K050GSB is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance: 0.33 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 50 V (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• ESR: 15 Ohm (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Lifetime @ Temperature: 1000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial (exact match required)
• Manufacturer Size Code: A (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The TAP334K050CCS qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on full alignment with all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The lead spacing difference (0.197" vs. 0.125") represents a mechanical variation within the same package family and does not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility in applications designed for radial through-hole tantalum capacitors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TAP334K050GSB and TAP334K050CCS maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• PCB layout requirements: Lead spacing variation (0.125" vs. 0.197") must be accommodated by the circuit board design. Verify hole spacing on the target PCB before component selection.
• Inventory availability: TAP334K050CCS currently maintains higher stock levels (4073 Pcs vs. 876 Pcs), supporting shorter lead times when required.
• Electrical performance: Both parts deliver identical electrical characteristics, including capacitance, voltage rating, ESR, and temperature performance.
• Compliance requirements: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 and REACH compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP334K050CCS be used as a direct replacement for TAP334K050GSB?

A: Yes, provided the PCB layout accommodates the lead spacing difference of 0.072" (1.82mm). All electrical parameters, thermal performance, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the lead spacing difference?

A: Lead spacing affects PCB hole placement and pad layout. The TAP334K050CCS uses 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing compared to 0.125" (3.18mm) for the TAP334K050GSB. PCB design must support the selected lead spacing. This is a mechanical consideration only and does not impact electrical performance.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -55°C ~ 125°C and maintain 1000 hours lifetime at 85°C, meeting standard industrial temperature requirements for tantalum capacitors.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both TAP334K050GSB and TAP334K050CCS are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What factors should determine which substitute to select?

A: PCB layout compatibility with lead spacing, current inventory availability, and lead time requirements. Electrical performance is equivalent between both parts.
