TAP336M025SPA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TAP336M025SPA is a 33 µF conformal coated tantalum capacitor rated at 25 V with radial through-hole mounting. Manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, this component is part of the active TAP series and is ROHS3 compliant. Finding equivalent and substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design optimization needs while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the TAP336M025SPA is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 33 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 25 V (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.315" Dia, 0.453" Height, 0.098" Lead Spacing (exact match required)
• ESR: 1.2 Ohm (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Conformal Coating: Required for environmental protection

The TAP336K025SCS qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. The tolerance specification differs (±10% versus ±20%), which represents an upgrade in capacitance accuracy rather than a compatibility issue.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TAP336K025SCS is a direct substitute for the TAP336M025SPA. Both components are manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, and carry equivalent regulatory compliance (ROHS3 and REACH Unaffected status). The primary distinction is the improved capacitance tolerance of ±10% in the substitute part, which provides tighter value control without introducing any compatibility concerns. Both components are active products with confirmed inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP336K025SCS be used as a direct replacement for TAP336M025SPA in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance, voltage rating, physical dimensions, lead spacing, ESR, and operating temperature range. The substitute part features improved tolerance specification, which is compatible with applications designed for the original part.

Q: Are there any PCB layout or mounting considerations when switching between these parts?

A: No. Both components use identical through-hole radial mounting with 0.098" (2.50mm) lead spacing and 0.315" diameter package. PCB footprints and assembly procedures remain unchanged.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both TAP336M025SPA and TAP336K025SCS are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both feature conformal coating for environmental protection and operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference between ±20% and ±10%?

A: The ±10% tolerance in TAP336K025SCS represents improved capacitance accuracy. This is an upgrade that does not create compatibility issues; circuits designed for ±20% tolerance will function correctly with ±10% tolerance components.

Q: Are both parts available in equivalent quantities?

A: TAP336M025SPA has 1077 pieces in stock, while TAP336K025SCS has 2200 pieces available. Both are listed as new original inventory.
