Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TAP334K050CCS qualifies as a direct substitute for the TAP334M050CCS based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 0.33 µF (identical)
• Voltage Rating: 50 V (identical)
• Type: Conformal Coated Tantalum (identical)
• ESR: 15 Ohm (identical)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (identical)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Radial (identical)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.177" Dia, 0.335" Height, 0.197" Lead Spacing (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)

Tolerance Difference: The substitute part features ±10% tolerance compared to the main part's ±20% tolerance. This represents an upgrade in tolerance specification, making the TAP334K050CCS suitable for applications requiring tighter capacitance accuracy while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TAP334M050CCS and TAP334K050CCS are active products from KYOCERA AVX with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The TAP334K050CCS offers improved tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%) while maintaining identical electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and physical form factor.
