68 µF, 16 V, 125 mOhm ESR — Molded Tantalum for Power Rail Decoupling
The TPSC686K016R0125 is a molded tantalum capacitor from the KYOCERA AVX TPS series, rated at 68 µF with ±10% tolerance and a 16 V DC voltage rating. The 2312 (6032 Metric) surface-mount package — 6.00 mm x 3.20 mm footprint, 2.80 mm seated height — fits standard reflow assembly. The C-size code indicates the case dimensions; board layout should follow the manufacturer's recommended land pattern for the 6032 footprint to keep solder joint stress within limits over the -55°C to 125°C range.
The molded case construction provides mechanical protection against vibration and thermal cycling in these harsh settings.
