4.7 µF, 16 V, 2 Ω ESR — molded tantalum in 1206 case
The TPSA475K016R2000 is a molded tantalum capacitor from KYOCERA AVX's TPS series, offering 4.7 µF capacitance with ±10% tolerance and a 16 V voltage rating. Housed in a standard 1206 (3216 Metric) surface-mount package measuring 3.20 mm x 1.60 mm with a seated height of 1.80 mm, it fits tight PCB layouts where height is constrained. The molded construction provides mechanical robustness and consistent lead-free solder joint formation.
It remains suitable for both prototype builds and volume production without a looming obsolescence gate.
A 16 V rating on a 12 V rail provides 33 % derating margin — standard practice for tantalum capacitors to reduce failure rate from surge current.
