What this tantalum does on a board
The TPSB476M006S0500: This is a molded tantalum capacitor from the KYOCERA AVX TPS series, rated 47 µF at 6.3 V with a 500 mOhm ESR. For a 6.3 V rail, this cap can absorb the AC ripple from a switching regulator without cooking itself.
The molded construction keeps the electrolyte sealed through thermal cycling.
