The TPSB107K006T0400 is a molded tantalum capacitor from KYOCERA AVX's TPS series, rated at 100 µF with ±10% tolerance and a 6.3 V DC voltage rating. The 400 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz sets the ripple current capability; in a 1 MHz buck converter output, this ESR contributes roughly 40 mV of ripple per amp of load current — a figure to budget against the downstream regulator's input ripple spec.
Lifetime and temperature endurance
Rated for 2000 hours at 125°C, the capacitor's useful life in a 105°C ambient environment extends well beyond the rated hours — the Arrhenius acceleration factor roughly doubles life for every 10°C below the rated temperature.
The 1411 (3528 Metric) case with size code B fits a compact PCB footprint.
