Bulk capacitance for a 16 V rail — 100 µF, 200 mOhm ESR
The 200 mOhm ESR determines how much ripple current the part can handle before self-heating becomes a concern — in a switching regulator output filter, that ESR sets the output ripple voltage amplitude.
It fits avionics power buses, downhole instrumentation that sees 125°C ambient, and outdoor telecom gear where the enclosure bakes in direct sun. The molded case provides mechanical stability and moisture resistance compared to conformally coated tantalums.
Package and footprint — 2312 (6032 Metric), size code C
The 6.00 mm x 3.20 mm footprint with a seated height of 2.80 mm is a common tantalum outline — the land pattern is standard and shared with other C-size tantalums, so a PCB layout change is not needed if you switch between vendors.
Lifecycle — active, no end-of-line pressure
KYOCERA AVX lists the product status as Active. There is no NRND or EOL notice on this part, so it can be designed into new BOMs without a last-time-buy clock.
