Its 11 Ohm ESR at 100 kHz means it handles moderate ripple current without excessive self-heating — typical for bypassing a 3.3 V or 5 V rail in a mixed-signal board.
Package, polarity, and rework considerations
Molded 1206 case, size code A — 3.20 mm x 1.60 mm, seated height 1.80 mm max. The anode (+) is marked with a stripe on the top face; the cathode is the larger pad on the bottom. Polarity matters: reverse voltage damages the dielectric, so verify orientation before reflow or hand-soldering. For hand rework, a hot-air station at 300-320°C with a fine nozzle lifts the part cleanly — the 1206 pad pitch leaves room for a tweezer grab without lifting adjacent passives.
