The 12 mOhm ESR keeps ripple heating low, making it a strong fit for bulk decoupling on a 1.8 V or 2.5 V rail where the downstream load draws fast current transients. The ±20% tolerance is typical for high-capacitance tantalum polymer parts; the actual capacitance at the rated voltage will sit near the upper end of the band, so budget the full 1500 µF for hold-up time calculations. It can sit on a satellite power bus, inside an avionics LRU, or on a downhole instrument board that sees 125°C ambient — the molded case and solid tantalum construction handle the thermal cycling without the electrolyte dry-out of wet electrolytics.","metaTitle":"TPME158M002R0012 KYOCERA AVX Molded Tantalum Capacitor 1500","metaDescription":"KYOCERA AVX TPME158M002R0012 molded tantalum capacitor, 1500 µF, 2.5 V, 12 mOhm ESR, -55°C to 125°C, 2917 case.
