4.7 µF, 10 V, 1.4 Ohm ESR — molded tantalum for tight thermal budgets
The TPSA475K010T1400 is a molded tantalum capacitor from KYOCERA AVX's TPS series, rated 4.7 µF at 10 V with ±10% tolerance. The 1.4 Ohm ESR at 100 kHz is the dominant loss term — at 500 mA ripple current the self-heating is about 0.35 W, which the 1206 package dissipates with a 20 °C temperature rise above ambient. That matters when the capacitor sits next to a hot regulator or in a 125 °C soak.
-55 to 125 °C — military-grade temperature coverage
The molded construction keeps the case sealed against moisture ingress during those thermal swings.
