68 µF, 6.3 V, 200 mOhm — the bulk-decoupling numbers
The TPSC686M006R0200 is a molded tantalum capacitor from the KYOCERA AVX TPS series, rated 68 µF at 6.3 V with a 200 mOhm ESR. The 200 mOhm ESR sets the ripple-current self-heating limit — at 68 µF and 6.3 V the cap handles moderate ripple in a power rail without cooking itself.
Active — no EOL watch needed
That is the full military temperature range — this cap works in avionics, downhole drilling tools, satellite power buses, and outdoor telecom cabinets that see -40°C nights and 85°C days. The molded case and surface-mount 2312 (6032 Metric) footprint reflow without special handling; the part is RoHS-compliant by default in the TPS series.
