The TPSA336K010R0700: The 33 µF capacitance at 10 V rated voltage with a ±10% tolerance is a common bulk-decoupling value for 3.3 V and 5 V rails, but the 700 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz sets the ripple current ceiling — at 10 V, the maximum allowable ripple current is roughly 140 mA RMS before self-heating pushes the part above its rated temperature. The 1206 (3216 Metric) case size with a seated height of 1.80 mm fits standard pick-and-place and reflow profiles, but the molded body means the part has no conformal coating — the epoxy encapsulant is the primary moisture barrier, so a 24-hour bake at 125°C before reflow is required if the tape has been exposed to ambient humidity above 60% RH.
Temperature range — military-grade reliability for harsh environments
The TPS series is a general-purpose molded tantalum, not a low-ESR or high-reliability (CWR/CWR09) grade — for mission-critical applications requiring surge-current testing per MIL-PRF-55365, a COTS+ or MIL-spec part is the appropriate choice.
