The TPME687K004R0018: The 18 mOhm ESR sets the ripple-current ceiling for this 680 µF tantalum. At a 100 kHz switching frequency, the self-heating from ripple current is I² × 18 mOhm; a 2 A ripple component dissipates 72 mW, well within the package's thermal budget for a 2917 case. Below 18 mOhm, the capacitor can handle higher AC current without exceeding the 125 °C upper limit.
