Product details

Capacitance, voltage, and ESR for bulk decoupling

The 300 mOhm ESR is the key parameter for power supply decoupling — it sets the ripple current rating and self-heating under load.

Temperature range and application environment

At 125°C, the voltage derating curve applies — KYOCERA AVX recommends derating to 50% of rated voltage for reliable operation above 85°C. For a 12 V automotive bus, the 16 V rating provides adequate margin after derating.

Housed in a 2312 (6032 Metric) molded case measuring 6.00 mm x 3.20 mm with a seated height of 2.80 mm. The manufacturer size code is C. This is a standard tantalum chip footprint — the 6.00 mm length and 3.20 mm width match the common 2312 land pattern. The molded construction provides mechanical stability and moisture resistance for reflow soldering.
