The TPSA226M010R0900: This is a molded tantalum capacitor from the KYOCERA AVX TPS series, rated 22 µF at 10 V with a ±20% tolerance and 900 mOhm ESR.
The 900 mOhm ESR is typical for a small-case tantalum like this A-size code. That ESR limits ripple current handling — if you're using it as output filter on a switching regulator, the self-heating from ripple current adds to the ambient temperature.
Molded tantalum capacitors are polarized. The positive terminal is typically marked with a stripe or band on the body. Confirm the marking orientation against the datasheet before placement — a reverse-voltage event will short the part.
No pin-compatible cross-reference or second-source is listed in the official record. Other 22 µF, 10 V tantalum capacitors in 1206 case with similar ESR (e.g., from other manufacturers) may be functional equivalents, but the pad layout, height profile, and derating guidelines should be verified against the specific BOM position.
