Molded tantalum construction and case size
The TPSC105M050R2500: This is a molded tantalum capacitor from the TPS series, built in a C case (2312 / 6032 Metric) measuring 6.00 mm x 3.20 mm with a seated height of 2.80 mm. The molded body provides consistent mechanical dimensions and good moisture resistance compared to dipped tantalum types.
Voltage rating and derating practice
Rated at 50 V, this capacitor is typically derated to 30 V or lower in continuous operation to stay within the safe operating area and reduce failure rate — a standard practice for solid tantalum capacitors where voltage derating of 50% or more is recommended for high-reliability designs.
ESR and temperature range
With a 2.5 Ohm ESR at 25°C, the ripple current capability is moderate — suitable for decoupling and filtering in power supply rails where the AC ripple is limited.
