2000-hour life at 125°C — the thermal endurance anchor
10 µF, 16 V, 3 Ohm ESR — the parametric fit
10 µF capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance and a 3 Ohm ESR at 100 kHz. The 1206 case (3.20 mm x 1.60 mm footprint, 1.80 mm seated height) places it on a standard pad layout — no tombstoning risk if the reflow profile stays inside the 260°C peak typical for lead-free solder.
