Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TH3D226M020D0700 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Capacitance value must remain 22 µF. Voltage rating must be 20 V or higher. ESR must not exceed 700 mOhm to maintain circuit performance characteristics. Package must be 2917 (7343 Metric) to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB layouts. Mounting type must be surface mount. Operating temperature range must encompass -55°C to 150°C. Type must be molded tantalum. RoHS3 compliance and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification must be maintained.

The KEMET T498D226K020ATE700 satisfies all substitution criteria within these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TH3D226M020D0700 and T498D226K020ATE700 maintain active product status and satisfy AEC-Q200 automotive qualification requirements. The KEMET T498D226K020ATE700 provides tighter capacitance tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), which may offer improved circuit performance in applications requiring closer value control. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement availability, packaging format preference (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), and tolerance requirements specific to the application circuit.
