What this tantalum cap brings to the rail
The TPSB226K016R0600: This is a molded tantalum capacitor from the TPS series, delivering 22 µF at 16 V with ±10% tolerance — a common decoupling or bulk storage value for 5 V, 3.3 V, or 1.8 V rails where the 600 mOhm ESR keeps ripple current self-heating manageable.
Package and footprint: Size B 1411
Manufacturer size code B maps to a 3.50 mm x 2.80 mm body (0.138" x 0.110") with a seated height of 2.10 mm max — the 1411 (3528 Metric) / 1210 case code fits standard tantalum land patterns. Surface-mount, supplied on tape and reel or cut tape — compatible with reflow soldering profiles for the TPS series.
General-purpose grade, no AEC-Q100 or military screening cited; for high-reliability programs confirm additional qualification requirements at RFQ.
