100 µF, 16 V molded tantalum for bulk decoupling
This part is typically specified for bulk decoupling on power rails or energy storage in circuits where a stable, low-leakage capacitor is needed — think FPGA core supplies, DC-DC converter output filtering, or hold-up capacitance after a regulator. The 2917 (7343 Metric) surface-mount package is the standard EIA case size for this capacitance and voltage combination.
ESR and temperature range set the application ceiling
With 900 mOhm ESR, this capacitor handles ripple current but not at high frequencies — the ESR dominates impedance above a few hundred kHz, so it is more suited to bulk storage than high-frequency decoupling where a ceramic MLCC would outperform it.
