85 mOhm ESR — ripple current and self-heating budget
For a buck converter switching at 500 kHz, the ripple current through this cap is typically 1–2 A RMS; the ESR power dissipation stays under 0.3 W, well within the package's thermal limit.
The capacitance change over temperature is typical for tantalum — expect ~10% drop at -55°C and ~5% rise at +125°C relative to the 25°C value.
2917 case — standard D-size footprint
The 2917 (7343 Metric) case measures 7.30 mm x 4.30 mm with a seated height of 3.10 mm. This is the industry-standard D-size tantalum footprint — the same pad layout accepts equivalent parts from Kemet, Vishay, or Panasonic without a board spin.
