Temperature range and rework reality
The TPSD336K020R0200: The -55°C to 125°C operating range covers industrial control cabinets and under-hood automotive environments — the molded case and solid tantalum construction handle the thermal cycling without the dry-out failure mode of aluminum electrolytics. In the 2917 D-size package, the capacitor sits low at 3.10 mm seated height, which keeps it clear of airflow shadows under adjacent tall components. The molded body has a clear polarity band — pin 1 orientation is unambiguous under a reflow microscope, and the part survives a standard 260°C peak reflow profile without cracking if the moisture sensitivity level is observed.
Tolerance and packaging for production runs
±10% tolerance is the standard precision grade for tantalum capacitors, matching the typical 10% derating guideline for solid tantalum parts — the capacitance value at 20 V bias stays within the ±10% window across the full temperature range.
