Capacitance-voltage rating and ESR — the decoupling budget
The TPSD336K016R0200: This capacitance-voltage pair fits bulk decoupling on 5 V, 3.3 V, and 1.8 V rails where the derating rule (typically 50% of rated voltage for tantalum) leaves 8 V maximum applied — adequate for most low-voltage POL regulators. The 200 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz sets the ripple current capability and the self-heating limit. For a 33 µF part in a D-case, 200 mOhm is a standard-grade ESR — not low-ESR, not high-ESR — meaning it handles moderate ripple without excessive temperature rise but is not optimized for high-frequency switching supply output stages that demand sub-100 mOhm parts.
Temperature range and molded construction
Rated for -55°C to 125°C operation, this capacitor covers the full industrial and military temperature envelope. The molded case (type: Molded) provides mechanical protection and standard flammability rating, unlike conformally-coated tantalums that are more susceptible to handling damage during pick-and-place. The TPS series is KYOCERA AVX's standard molded tantalum line — general-purpose, not low-ESR or high-reliability (COTS/ESCC). For designs requiring surge current testing or Weibull grading, the TLJ or TPM series would be the appropriate cross-reference.
Package footprint and PCB layout
The 2917 (7343 metric) footprint is industry-standard — the same land pattern serves AVX, Kemet, Vishay, and Panasonic D-case tantalums without layout changes. Reel quantity is not stated here — confirm the full reel count at RFQ for volume pricing.
