Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TAP685K050CRW is determined by strict equivalence in the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Capacitance: 6.8 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 50 V (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• ESR: 2 Ohm (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Lifetime @ Temperature: 1000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.276" Dia (7.00 mm) and 0.472" (12.00 mm) height (exact match required)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected (exact match required)

The identified substitute part TAP685K050GSB maintains all electrical specifications and compliance requirements. The primary difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel) and lead spacing (0.125" versus 0.197"), which do not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility in applications where lead spacing accommodation is available.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TAP685K050CRW and TAP685K050GSB are Active product status components manufactured by KYOCERA AVX and maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Selection between these parts is determined by application requirements:

TAP685K050CRW is specified when Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes and when PCB layout accommodates 0.197" (5.00 mm) lead spacing.

TAP685K050GSB is specified when Bulk packaging is acceptable and when PCB layout accommodates 0.125" (3.18 mm) lead spacing. This substitute maintains identical electrical performance and all compliance certifications.

Both parts are electrically and functionally equivalent for applications requiring 6.8 µF capacitance at 50 V with conformal coating and 2 Ohm ESR specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP685K050GSB replace TAP685K050CRW in my circuit?

A: Yes, provided your PCB layout accommodates the 0.125" (3.18 mm) lead spacing of the TAP685K050GSB. All electrical specifications, voltage rating, capacitance value, ESR, and operating temperature range are identical. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is used for automated pick-and-place assembly processes. Bulk packaging is used for manual assembly or when components are purchased in smaller quantities. The electrical performance of the component is not affected by packaging format.

Q: Does the lead spacing difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. Lead spacing is a mechanical design parameter that affects PCB layout and assembly compatibility only. The electrical specifications, including capacitance, voltage rating, ESR, and operating temperature range, remain identical regardless of lead spacing.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both TAP685K050CRW and TAP685K050GSB operate across -55°C to 125°C and maintain 1000 hours lifetime at 85°C, making them suitable for applications requiring extended temperature performance.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.
