TAP336M016CCS-LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TAP336M016CCS-LF is a 33 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor rated at 16 V with ±20% tolerance, manufactured by KYOCERA AVX in radial through-hole configuration. This part is currently obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and production continuity. The conformal coating provides enhanced environmental protection suitable for general-purpose applications across industrial and commercial electronics.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the TAP336M016CCS-LF is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters: capacitance (33 µF), voltage rating (16 V), mounting type (through-hole radial), package diameter (6.00 mm), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3). Tolerance variations (±20%, ±10%, ±5%) and lead spacing differences are permitted substitution criteria when the core electrical and mechanical specifications remain unchanged. Packaging format (bulk vs. tape & reel) does not affect electrical equivalence but may impact procurement logistics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Preferred): TAP336M016CCS is the active production equivalent of the obsolete TAP336M016CCS-LF. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, physical dimensions, and lead spacing. This part is recommended as the primary replacement for direct substitution in existing designs.

Tighter Tolerance Alternatives: TAP336K016CCS and TAP336K016FCS offer ±10% tolerance compared to the original ±20%, providing improved capacitance accuracy. Both maintain identical physical dimensions and ESR characteristics. These parts are suitable for applications requiring enhanced tolerance performance without design modification.

Highest Tolerance Grade: TAP336J016CRW provides ±5% tolerance with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. This part is supplied in tape & reel packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes. Selection is appropriate when superior tolerance performance is required.

Lead Spacing Variant: TAP336M016GSB maintains ±20% tolerance and all electrical specifications but features reduced lead spacing (0.125" vs. 0.197"). This part is suitable only for designs with compatible PCB footprints accommodating the narrower lead pitch.

Cross-Manufacturer Alternative: 199D336X0016D6V1E3 (Vishay Sprague TANTALEX™ 199D series) provides electrical equivalence with ±20% tolerance and identical capacitance/voltage ratings. Physical dimensions differ slightly in height (0.498" vs. 0.453") and lead spacing (0.200" vs. 0.197"), requiring PCB footprint verification before implementation.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Product status verification confirms all recommended alternatives are in active production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP336M016CCS directly replace TAP336M016CCS-LF without PCB modification?

A: Yes. TAP336M016CCS is the active production equivalent with identical capacitance (33 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), ESR (1.6 Ohm), and physical dimensions including lead spacing (0.197"). No design changes are required.

Q: What is the difference between ±20%, ±10%, and ±5% tolerance options?

A: Tolerance specifies the allowable deviation from the nominal 33 µF capacitance value. ±20% allows 26.4–39.6 µF, ±10% allows 29.7–36.3 µF, and ±5% allows 31.35–34.65 µF. Tighter tolerances (±10%, ±5%) are suitable for applications requiring precise capacitance values; ±20% is acceptable for general-purpose filtering and decoupling.

Q: Can TAP336M016GSB be used as a substitute if my PCB has 0.197" lead spacing?

A: No. TAP336M016GSB has 0.125" lead spacing, which is incompatible with PCB footprints designed for 0.197" spacing. Lead spacing must match the PCB layout exactly to ensure proper component seating and solder joint integrity.

Q: Is the Vishay Sprague 199D336X0016D6V1E3 compatible with existing PCB designs?

A: Partial compatibility exists. The part matches capacitance, voltage, and tolerance specifications. However, height differs (0.498" vs. 0.453") and lead spacing differs (0.200" vs. 0.197"). PCB footprint verification is required before implementation to confirm mechanical clearance and lead hole alignment.

Q: What packaging format should I select for production?

A: TAP336M016CCS, TAP336K016CCS, TAP336K016FCS, TAP336M016GSB, and 199D336X0016D6V1E3 are supplied in bulk packaging suitable for manual assembly or tube feeding. TAP336J016CRW is supplied in tape & reel format, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Selection depends on manufacturing process requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for applications requiring lead-free and restricted substance compliance.
