The 1 Ohm ESR is the number that decides whether it works as a bulk decoupling cap on a 10 V rail — at switching frequencies above a few hundred kHz, the ESR dominates the impedance, so the ripple current rating is set by I²R heating in the dielectric, not the capacitance alone. ## RoHS and polarity — field-fit checklist The TPSA156M010R1000 is RoHS compliant. Like all solid tantalum capacitors, it is polarized — the anode (+) is marked with a stripe on the molded body. The 1206 footprint is standard: 3.20 mm x 1.60 mm land pattern, 1.80 mm seated height. No special ESD precautions beyond normal handling; the molded case is not moisture-sensitive to JEDEC Level 1.","metaTitle":"TPSA156M010R1000 KYOCERA AVX 15 µF 10 V Tantalum Cap 1206 1","metaDescription":"TPSA156M010R1000 molded tantalum capacitor, 15 µF ±20%, 10 V, 1 Ohm ESR, -55°C to 125°C.
