The TPSC685M020R0700: This is a 6.8 µF, 20 V molded tantalum capacitor from the KYOCERA AVX TPS series, in a 2312 (6032 Metric) case with size code C.
For tantalum capacitors, derating the applied voltage to 50-60% of the 20 V rating is standard practice to reduce field-failure risk from surge current; a 12 V rail is a safe fit.
The specified ESR is 700 mOhm. This value is measured at 100 kHz and is the key parameter for estimating ripple current capability and power dissipation in the application.
