The 100mOhm equivalent series resistance (ESR) sets the ripple-current ceiling for this 33µF tantalum. In a 16V rail decoupling role, that ESR limits self-heating — a 1A ripple current would dissipate 100mW, well within the molded case's thermal budget. For a rework tech: the 2312 body (6.00mm x 3.20mm) has moderate thermal mass; a hot-air station at 300°C with a 3mm nozzle lifts it cleanly in about 8 seconds. Watch the polarity marking — the anode stripe is on the long side, and the part sits flush on the pad with no standoff.
Temperature grade and deployment fit
A 16V rated part at 125°C should be derated to roughly 10V for reliable operation — the TPS series is a general-purpose line, not a high-reliability automotive grade, but the temperature range alone makes it viable for engine-bay electronics if the derating is applied.
