What this capacitor does on the board
The TPSC476M016R0110 is a 47 µF molded tantalum capacitor rated at 16 V, with a ±20% tolerance and a maximum ESR of 110 mOhm at 25°C. It belongs to the TPS series from KYOCERA AVX, which is a general-purpose line suited for bulk decoupling, filtering, and energy storage in power rails. The 110 mOhm ESR is the key number for a repair tech: a dead short or a high-ESR failure on this part shows up as a scorch mark or a bulged case on the board. In a power-supply decoupling role, a failed cap means ripple on the rail and downstream logic glitches.
It can sit in an avionics black box, a downhole sensor module, or an outdoor telecom enclosure without derating. The molded case (size code C, 6.00 mm x 3.20 mm footprint, 2.80 mm seated height) is a standard surface-mount package that reflows on a standard lead-free profile. No special handling beyond normal moisture sensitivity level (MSL) bake requirements.
