33 µF, 20 V, 200 mOhm ESR — TPS series tantalum
The TPSD336M020R0200: The 200 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz is the key parameter for ripple-handling in a DC-DC converter output — the capacitor's self-heating and ripple current capability are directly limited by this figure.
Temperature grade and mounting
Surface-mount assembly in the 2917 package — the standard reflow profile for tantalum capacitors uses a peak temperature of 260°C with a 30-second above-217°C window, but the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) should be confirmed from the lot-specific label before baking.
