The ±10% tolerance is the usual tight band for a tantalum; the 1500 µF value at 2.5 V gives you a solid energy reservoir for a 1.8 V or 1.2 V core supply after the regulator drops the rail. ## Temperature range and deployment context Rated for -55°C to 125°C operating temperature, this cap fits boards that see thermal cycling — think outdoor telecom gear, industrial controllers, or engine-adjacent electronics where the ambient swings wide. The molded case and surface-mount 2917 footprint are standard across the TPS series; the reflow profile follows typical tantalum recommendations (peak 260°C, ramp rate per J-STD-020), and the polarity marking on the top of the case is clear enough to get right without a magnifier.","metaTitle":"KYOCERA AVX TPSE158K002R0050 TPS Series, 1500 µF, 2.5 V","metaDescription":"KYOCERA AVX TPSE158K002R0050 molded tantalum capacitor, 1500 µF, 2.5 V, 50 mOhm ESR.
