Molded tantalum, 6.8 µF at 25 V – TPS series fit
The TPSC685K025H0500: This is a KYOCERA AVX TPS series molded tantalum capacitor rated at 6.8 µF with ±10% tolerance and a 25 V DC voltage rating. The 500 mOhm ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) sets the ripple current capability and self-heating under load — a lower ESR means less power dissipated as heat for a given AC current, which matters in power-supply output filters or decoupling near a switching regulator. The 2312 (6032 Metric) case, size code C, measures 6.00 mm x 3.20 mm with a seated height of 2.80 mm max. This footprint is common for mid-range tantalum capacitors and fits standard reflow profiles.
The -55°C to 125°C range covers avionics, downhole instrumentation, and satellite power buses where ambient temperature exceeds the industrial band.
