For a 5V rail feeding an FPGA core or a 3.3V bus on a mixed-signal board, this one part handles the bulk decoupling. It needs a decent copper pad area on the board to sink the heat during reflow and to keep the ESR stable under load. The molded construction means no liquid electrolyte to leak or dry out, which is why tantalums like this one hold their capacitance over years in the field. ## Temperature range and where it fits Tantalum capacitors should be derated by at least 20% on voltage for reliability; at 16 V rated, a 12V rail leaves 25% margin, which is comfortable. The ±20% tolerance is standard for tantalum electrolytics — fine for bulk decoupling where the exact capacitance matters less than the ESR and voltage rating. If you need tighter tolerance for a timing circuit, this is not the part; it is built for power rail smoothing. ## Active production — no end-of-life scramble Packaged in tape and reel (cut tape also available), so it feeds straight into a pick-and-place line. The 2924 case is a common size — no special nozzle or feeder needed.","metaTitle":"KYOCERA AVX TPSV227M016R0050 Tantalum Cap, 220 µF, 16 V","metaDescription":"KYOCERA AVX TPSV227M016R0050 molded tantalum capacitor, 220 µF, 16 V, 50 mOhm ESR.

For a 220 µF tantalum at 16 V, that is low — it keeps ripple voltage on a switching regulator output low enough that you can often use a single cap instead of paralleling several. The low ESR also means less self-heating under ripple current, which improves long-term reliability."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/kyocera-avx/TPSV227M016R0050","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/kyocera-avx/TPSV227M016R0050 when reusing this data.
