That ESR figure is the key selection parameter here — it keeps ripple heating under control when the cap is used as a bulk decoupling element on a 3.3 V or 1.8 V rail, where the ripple current can reach several amps without exceeding the part's self-heating limit.","metaTitle":"TPME687M006R0018 – KYOCERA AVX Molded Tantalum Cap 680 µF","metaDescription":"TPME687M006R0018 KYOCERA AVX TPM series molded tantalum capacitor. 680 µF, 6.3 V, ±20% tolerance, 18 mΩ ESR, -55°C to 125°C.

The difference is in the ESR rating — the '0018 suffix indicates 18 mΩ, while the '0015 variant carries a different ESR value.

KYOCERA AVX typically ships these as RoHS-compliant, but the evidence does not carry an explicit RoHS status for this order code.
