Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TAP686K025SCS is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance: 68 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 25 V (exact match required)
• Type: Conformal Coated (exact match required)
• ESR: 800 mOhm (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: 0.354" Dia (9.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.630" (16.00 mm) (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The TAP686K025CCS qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both parts are manufactured by KYOCERA AVX within the active TAP series and share identical electrical specifications, thermal characteristics, and compliance certifications. The primary difference is lead spacing and packaging format, which do not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility in applications where the physical lead configuration accommodates the 0.197" (5.00 mm) spacing of the substitute part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TAP686K025SCS and TAP686K025CCS are active products manufactured by KYOCERA AVX with identical electrical specifications, thermal performance, and regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. PCB layout requirements and lead spacing accommodation (2.50 mm versus 5.00 mm)
2. Packaging format availability (tape and reel versus bulk)
3. Inventory availability and lead time

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility in equivalent applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP686K025CCS replace TAP686K025SCS in all applications?

A: Electrical and thermal performance are identical. Compatibility depends on PCB layout accommodation of the different lead spacing (0.197" versus 0.098"). Physical board dimensions and hole spacing must support the 5.00 mm lead pitch of the TAP686K025CCS.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are lead spacing (2.50 mm versus 5.00 mm) and packaging format (tape and reel versus bulk). All electrical parameters, ratings, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Both parts are active products. TAP686K025SCS has 978 pcs in stock; TAP686K025CCS has 1259 pcs in stock.

Q: Do these parts have the same reliability characteristics?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), lifetime rating (1000 Hrs @ 85°C), and ESR specification (800 mOhm).

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 with identical HTSUS codes.
