10 µF, 10 V, 6 Ohm ESR — the 0805 tantalum for tight boards
The 0805 case (2.05 mm x 1.35 mm footprint) and 1.50 mm seated height fit dense PCB layouts where a larger 1206 or 1210 would crowd adjacent passives. The 6 Ohm ESR is the key design parameter — it limits ripple current handling and self-heating. This part is specified for general-purpose decoupling and filtering where board space is the priority.
The molded construction handles thermal cycling without the cracking risk of conformally-coated chips.
No last-time-buy window, no NRND flag — the part is in standard catalog production and can be ordered against a BOM without obsolescence risk.
