Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TAP475M016SLZ is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 4.7 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated Tantalum (exact match required)
• Mounting Configuration: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.177" Dia (4.50 mm), Height 0.295" (7.50 mm), Lead Spacing 0.098" (2.50 mm) (exact match required)
• ESR: 5 Ohm (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)

The TAP475K016SCS qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical values for all critical parameters listed above. The only difference is the tolerance specification, which changes from ±20% to ±10%, representing an upgrade in precision without affecting functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TAP475M016SLZ and TAP475K016SCS are active products manufactured by KYOCERA AVX and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. The TAP475K016SCS represents a direct functional equivalent with the added benefit of improved tolerance specification (±10% versus ±20%). This tighter tolerance may provide enhanced circuit performance in applications where capacitance precision is critical. Both parts are suitable for selection based on product status and regulatory compliance. The choice between them should be determined by application-specific tolerance requirements and inventory availability.
