0.33 µF, 35 V, 6 Ohm ESR — BOM-fit for power-rail decoupling
The TPSA334K035R6000: This is a molded tantalum capacitor from the KYOCERA AVX TPS series, rated 0.33 µF at 35 V with a 6 Ohm ESR. The 35 V rating gives headroom on a 12 V or 24 V rail — the capacitor sees the full rail voltage plus ripple, and the 35 V rating keeps the derating margin comfortable for a 24 V bus. The 6 Ohm ESR is typical for a small-case tantalum at this capacitance; it limits ripple current but keeps the self-heating low in a decoupling role where the AC component is modest.
Molded case, 1206 footprint, surface-mount assembly
The 1206 (3216 Metric) molded case measures 3.20 mm x 1.60 mm with a seated height of 1.80 mm. The molded construction gives consistent dimensional control for pick-and-place and reflow. The surface-mount footprint fits standard 1206 land patterns — no special pad geometry needed, though the manufacturer's recommended layout for the TPS series should be followed for solder-joint reliability.
