Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TAP475K016GSB qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 4.7 µF (identical)
• Voltage Rating: 16 V (identical)
• ESR: 5 Ohm (identical)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to 125°C (identical)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Radial (identical)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.177" Dia, 0.354" Height, 0.125" Lead Spacing (identical)
• Conformal Coating: Yes (identical)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)

Distinguishing Parameter:

• Tolerance: TAP475K016GSB features ±10% tolerance versus ±20% tolerance in the TAP475M016GSB

The tighter tolerance specification of the substitute part makes it functionally compatible for all applications where the original part is specified, as it meets or exceeds the electrical performance envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TAP475M016GSB and TAP475K016GSB are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making them suitable for regulated applications. The primary distinction is tolerance specification. Selection between these parts should be based on circuit tolerance requirements:

• TAP475M016GSB (±20%): Appropriate for general-purpose applications with broader tolerance acceptance
• TAP475K016GSB (±10%): Suitable for applications requiring tighter capacitance accuracy

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance characteristics, thermal ratings, and physical form factors, ensuring direct interchangeability at the board level. The conformal coating specification is maintained across both variants, supporting applications in moisture-sensitive or harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP475K016GSB replace TAP475M016GSB in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains all critical electrical parameters including capacitance value, voltage rating, ESR, and operating temperature range. The tighter tolerance of the substitute part is a performance enhancement rather than a limitation.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical radial package dimensions (0.177" diameter, 0.354" maximum height) and lead spacing (0.125"), ensuring identical PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both TAP475M016GSB and TAP475K016GSB are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements for controlled applications.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference?

A: Tolerance defines the acceptable range of actual capacitance values around the nominal 4.7 µF specification. The ±10% tolerance of TAP475K016GSB provides a narrower range (4.23–5.17 µF) compared to the ±20% range of TAP475M016GSB (3.76–5.64 µF). Applications requiring precise capacitance values benefit from the tighter tolerance specification.

Q: Are conformal coating specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature conformal coating, providing equivalent protection in moisture-sensitive or harsh operating environments.
