Product details

1.5 µF, 25 V, 3 Ω ESR — molded tantalum for decoupling and filtering

The TPSA155M025R3000 is a molded tantalum capacitor from KYOCERA AVX's TPS series, rated at 1.5 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 25 V DC voltage rating. Its 3 Ω equivalent series resistance (ESR) sets the self-heating and ripple-current ceiling — for a 100 kHz switching regulator output, the 3 Ω ESR limits the RMS ripple current to roughly 90 mA before internal temperature rise exceeds 10°C. The 1206 (3216 Metric) case size and surface-mount package fit standard pick-and-place assembly.

The molded construction provides mechanical stability across the temperature sweep without the moisture sensitivity of some polymer electrolytics.

Frequently asked questions

What is the exact capacitance and voltage rating of TPSA155M025R3000?

The capacitance is 1.5 µF with ±20% tolerance, and the rated DC voltage is 25 V. The ESR is 3 Ω. These three numbers define its decoupling and filtering capability.

What is the difference between TPSA155M025R3000 and TPSA155M025R2000?

Both are 1.5 µF, 25 V molded tantalum capacitors in the TPS series. The difference is the ESR: the R3000 suffix indicates 3 Ω ESR, while the R2000 suffix indicates 2 Ω ESR. The lower-ESR part handles higher ripple current and runs cooler in the same application.
