The TPSB156K016H0800 is a molded tantalum capacitor from KYOCERA AVX's TPS series, rated 15 µF at 16 V with ±10% tolerance and 800 mOhm ESR.
For a 100 kHz buck converter output, the I²R loss at 500 mA ripple is 0.2 W; the 2.1 mm seated height in a 1411 case dissipates that without exceeding the 125 °C limit, provided the board copper area follows the datasheet thermal model.
Buyers need to verify electrical and mechanical specifications before design-in or replacement.
Sourcing buyers need a trusted distributor to purchase the part quickly.
Cost is a key factor for BOM budgeting and supplier selection.
Availability determines whether the part can be sourced within lead time requirements.
Engineers and buyers need drop-in alternatives for second sourcing or obsolete parts.
Maintenance techs need to confirm compatibility when replacing a failed capacitor.
