68 µF, 16 V, 200 mOhm ESR — TPS molded tantalum
The TPSC686K016H0200: This is a KYOCERA AVX TPS series molded tantalum capacitor, 68 µF ±10% with a 16 V rating, in the C case size (2312 / 6032 metric). The 200 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz is the key spec for output filtering: it sets the ripple current capability and the voltage ripple magnitude on the rail. At 200 mOhm, this part handles moderate ripple without excessive self-heating.
2000-hour endurance at 125°C — full temperature range
Rated for 2000 hours at 125°C, this capacitor is designed for sustained operation in high-ambient environments — think engine-bay electronics, outdoor telecom enclosures, or industrial control cabinets where the internal temperature stays near the upper limit.
Listed as Active by KYOCERA AVX, so there is no last-time-buy deadline or imminent obsolescence.
