150 µF, 16 V, 100 mOhm — TPS series molded tantalum
The TPSD157K016H0100 is a 150 µF, 16 V molded tantalum capacitor from KYOCERA AVX's TPS series, housed in the standard D-size 2917 (7343 Metric) case. The 100 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz keeps ripple heating manageable in a switching-regulator output filter — for a 1 A ripple current, the self-heating is about 100 mW, well within the 2000-hour life rating at 125°C. The molded construction and ±10% tolerance make it a drop-in for general-purpose bulk decoupling and hold-up capacitor roles on surface-mount boards.
