Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TAP475M016SCS is permissible with the TAP475K016SCS based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Capacitance: 4.7 µF (identical)
• Voltage Rating: 16 V (identical)
• Type: Conformal Coated Tantalum (identical)
• ESR: 5 Ohm (identical)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Radial (identical)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (identical)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.177" Dia (4.50mm), Height 0.295" (7.50mm), Lead Spacing 0.098" (2.50mm) (identical)
• Manufacturer Size Code: B (identical)
• RoHS and REACH Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (identical)

Differentiating Parameter:

• Tolerance: TAP475M016SCS has ±20% tolerance; TAP475K016SCS has ±10% tolerance

The substitute part offers improved tolerance specification while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TAP475M016SCS and TAP475K016SCS are active production components with identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on tolerance requirements for the specific application. The TAP475K016SCS provides tighter capacitance tolerance (±10%) compared to the TAP475M016SCS (±20%), making it suitable for applications requiring higher precision. Both parts are manufactured by KYOCERA AVX and share identical electrical performance characteristics, physical dimensions, and thermal specifications. Component selection should align with circuit design tolerance budgets and application performance criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP475K016SCS replace TAP475M016SCS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The TAP475K016SCS is a direct substitute with identical capacitance, voltage rating, ESR, physical dimensions, and thermal characteristics. The primary difference is improved tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%).

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference between these parts?

A: Tolerance defines the allowable deviation of actual capacitance from the nominal 4.7 µF value. TAP475M016SCS allows ±20% deviation (3.76 µF to 5.64 µF), while TAP475K016SCS allows ±10% deviation (4.23 µF to 5.17 µF). Applications requiring tighter capacitance control should use the ±10% tolerance part.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical radial package dimensions: 0.177" diameter (4.50mm), maximum seated height of 0.295" (7.50mm), and lead spacing of 0.098" (2.50mm). PCB layout and mechanical clearances are interchangeable.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both TAP475M016SCS and TAP475K016SCS are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting identical regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for these parts?

A: TAP475M016SCS has 878 pieces in stock, while TAP475K016SCS has 5400 pieces in stock. Availability may influence component selection for high-volume production requirements.
