68 µF, 10 V, 600 mOhm ESR — bulk decoupling for harsh environments
The TPSB686K010R0600: This is a molded tantalum capacitor from the KYOCERA AVX TPS series, rated 68 µF at 10 V with ±10% tolerance and 600 mOhm ESR. The 600 mOhm ESR is the figure that determines ripple current capacity and output voltage ripple; for a 10 V rail switching at 500 kHz, this ESR keeps the self-heating below the derating threshold at rated ripple.
Surface-mount footprint and temperature grade
Packaged in a 1411 (3528 Metric) surface-mount case, manufacturer size code B, with dimensions 3.50 mm x 2.80 mm and a seated height of 2.10 mm. The molded construction provides mechanical stability for reflow soldering.
