Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TAP686M025HSB is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 68 µF
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Rated voltage: 25 V
• Type: Conformal coated
• ESR: 800 mOhm
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Lifetime specification: 1000 Hrs @ 85°C
• Mounting type: Through hole radial
• Manufacturer size code: N
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected

The TAP686M025CCS meets all these criteria and is classified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute within the TAP series. Variations in lead spacing do not affect electrical performance and are acceptable for through-hole applications with standard PCB pad layouts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TAP686M025HSB and TAP686M025CCS are active production components manufactured by KYOCERA AVX with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on PCB layout requirements and lead spacing accommodation. The TAP686M025CCS is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and maintains identical electrical performance and thermal characteristics. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 68 µF capacitance at 25 V with conformal coating protection across the -55°C to 125°C operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP686M025CCS replace TAP686M025HSB in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and thermally equivalent with identical capacitance, voltage rating, ESR, and operating temperature specifications. The difference in lead spacing (0.250" versus 0.197") requires PCB pad layout verification for mechanical fit.

Q: What is the significance of lead spacing differences?

A: Lead spacing affects PCB hole positioning and pad layout. The TAP686M025CCS uses 0.197" (5.00 mm) spacing compared to 0.250" (6.35 mm) on the TAP686M025HSB. PCB designs must accommodate the specific lead spacing of the selected part.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TAP686M025HSB and TAP686M025CCS are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What does conformal coating provide?

A: Conformal coating protects the capacitor from environmental contamination, moisture, and corrosive atmospheres. Both parts feature this protection for enhanced reliability in harsh operating conditions.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (68 µF), tolerance (±20%), voltage rating (25 V), ESR (800 mOhm), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and lifetime specification (1000 Hrs @ 85°C).
