Product details

150 µF bulk decoupling with 150 mOhm ESR in a 2917 footprint

In a 3.3 V rail filter, that 150 mOhm ESR keeps the output ripple under 15 mV for a 100 mA load step, which is tight enough for most logic and analog supplies. The 2917 case size (7.30 mm × 4.30 mm footprint, 3.10 mm seated height) is a standard for medium-density tantalum caps; it fits the same pads as the common D-size tantalum layout, so a board already using a 7343-20 or 7343-31 cap can usually drop this in without a respin.

If your board sees under-hood ambient above 105°C, the 125°C ceiling gives you margin before the tantalum derating curve kicks in.

Active and available through independent distribution. We source the TPSD157M016R0150 per RFQ — no stock-holding claim, but confirmed availability and pricing at quote time.

Frequently asked questions

What is the capacitance tolerance of TPSD157M016R0150?

±20%. That is standard for molded tantalum capacitors; if your design needs tighter tolerance (e.g., ±10% for a timing circuit), you would look at the TPS series with a different suffix — but for bulk decoupling, ±20% is typical and the ESR dominates the filtering performance.

Is TPSD157M016R0150 equivalent to TPSD157M016R0100?

The two share the same capacitance (150 µF), voltage (16 V), and case size (D / 2917), but the R0150 has 150 mOhm ESR while the R0100 has 100 mOhm ESR. The lower ESR version handles more ripple current and gives lower output ripple — if your load step is aggressive, the R0100 is the better fit; for general-purpose decoupling, the R0150 works fine.

Is TPSD157M016R0150 polarized?

Yes — it is a tantalum capacitor, which is polarity-sensitive. The molded body has a stripe marking the anode (positive) end. Reversing the voltage will damage the part and can cause a short or fire. The 2917 package has a clear polarity indicator on the top face; orientation is visible after soldering.
