Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TAP685M016GSB is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 6.8 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• ESR: 4 Ohm (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Lifetime specification: 1000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package: Radial (exact match required)
• Manufacturer size code: C (exact match required)
• Compliance: RoHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The TAP685M016CCS qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with all electrical and mechanical parameters listed above. Variations in lead spacing or inventory levels do not affect functional substitutability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TAP685M016GSB and TAP685M016CCS are Active status components with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. Selection between these parts should be based on lead spacing requirements for PCB layout compatibility. The TAP685M016GSB features 0.125" (3.18mm) lead spacing, while the TAP685M016CCS provides 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing. All other electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications are identical, ensuring functional equivalence in applications where lead spacing accommodates the substitute part's footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP685M016CCS be used as a direct replacement for TAP685M016GSB?

A: Yes, provided PCB layout accommodates the different lead spacing. The TAP685M016CCS has 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing compared to the TAP685M016GSB's 0.125" (3.18mm) spacing. All electrical parameters, voltage rating, capacitance, tolerance, ESR, and operating temperature range are identical.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Capacitance (6.8 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), conformal coating type, ESR (4 Ohm), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), lifetime specification (1000 Hrs @ 85°C), through-hole radial package, and RoHS3 compliance must all match exactly.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS codes (8532.21.0040).

Q: Does lead spacing affect electrical performance?

A: Lead spacing is a mechanical PCB layout parameter and does not affect electrical performance. Selection depends on whether the PCB footprint can accommodate the 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing of the substitute part.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C with a lifetime specification of 1000 hours at 85°C.
