6.8 µF, 25 V, 700 mOhm ESR — TPS series molded tantalum
The TPSB685M025R0700 is a molded tantalum capacitor in the TPS series from KYOCERA AVX, rated at 6.8 µF with ±20% tolerance and a 25 V DC voltage rating. Its 700 mOhm equivalent series resistance (ESR) at 25 V is the key parameter for ripple current handling and power dissipation in the 1210 (3528 Metric) case — a lower ESR would allow higher ripple, but this value is typical for a B-size code tantalum at this voltage and capacitance.
The 0.138" x 0.110" footprint and 0.083" seated height fit standard pick-and-place assembly.
