The TPSB106M020R0500: 10 µF capacitance at 20 V rated voltage leaves solid derating headroom for a 12 V rail — in a typical buck converter output, the 20 V rating provides margin against start-up overshoot and load transients. 500 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz sets the ripple current capability and self-heating floor. For a 500 mA ripple current, the power dissipation is 0.125 W — within the thermal budget of the 1411 package on a standard FR-4 board.
Supplied in a molded 1411 (3528 Metric) / 1210 case, size code B, measuring 3.50 mm x 2.80 mm with a seated height of 2.10 mm max. The 0.50 mm ESR is specified for this package size — larger case codes in the TPS family typically offer lower ESR at the same capacitance and voltage. Surface-mount assembly on standard FR-4 with a 0.50 mm pitch footprint. The molded body is compatible with reflow soldering; no special bake-out is required for moisture-sensitive level (MSL) 1-rated tantalum chips.
