Needs validationmedium risk
A 22µF, 16V, X7R capacitor in a 1206 package. Note the wider ±20% tolerance requires engineering review.
Best Alternatives to TCC1206X7R226K160HT
Finding a substitute for the TCC1206X7R226K160HT, a 22µF 16V 10% X7R capacitor in a 1206 package, requires careful review of tolerance and dielectric characteristics. Several alternatives exist with variations that need engineering validation.
AI replacement insight
Electrical riskhigh
Dielectric (X5R vs X7R) and tolerance (±20% vs ±10%) mismatches are common in candidates and require validation.
Package risklow
The 1206 package is standardized, making physical replacement straightforward.
Can it be replaced directly?
No exact drop-in replacement has been verified. Several alternatives exist, but they have different tolerance or dielectric properties that require engineering review.
Best replacement path
Search for a 22µF, 16V (or higher), ±10% (or tighter), X7R capacitor in a 1206 package from another major manufacturer.
Main risk
The main risks are substituting with a part that has a wider tolerance (e.g., ±20%) or a different dielectric (e.g., X5R), which has a narrower operating temperature range.
