Product details

Why the 1 Ohm ESR matters for your rail

In a 1206 package that's well within the thermal budget, but if you're paralleling several caps to drop ESR, the total ripple current splits unevenly — the cap with the lowest ESR takes the biggest share.

Temperature range and board environment

If you're replacing a failed cap on a board that saw 105°C ambient, this part's temperature grade matches the original's spec sheet.

Frequently asked questions

Can TPSA106K016R1000 replace a standard 10 µF 16 V ceramic capacitor on the same BOM line?

Not directly — the application determines fit. A 10 µF MLCC has near-zero ESR (a few milliohms), while this tantalum has 1 Ohm ESR at 100 kHz. In a decoupling role where the MLCC's low ESR was critical for high-frequency bypass, the tantalum's higher ESR will raise the impedance at the rail. However, in a bulk storage or RC timing role where ESR is less critical, the tantalum's stable capacitance over voltage and temperature can be a better fit. Always compare the ESR requirement of the original design before swapping.
