The TPSD476M016R0100: Rated 47 µF at 16 V with a maximum ESR of 100 mOhm at 100 kHz, this molded tantalum capacitor sits in the standard D case (2917 / 7343 Metric) footprint. The 100 mOhm ESR is the figure that governs ripple current handling and output voltage ripple in a DC-DC converter output filter — lower ESR means less self-heating and tighter regulation at the same ripple current.
D case 2917 — board integration note
Molded construction means the capacitor body is encapsulated in a solid epoxy case, offering better mechanical stability and moisture resistance than the older dipped tantalum styles.
Temperature range and environment
Operating temperature spans -55°C to +125°C, covering the full industrial and military temperature envelope — suitable for engine bay, avionics, or outdoor telecom equipment where the ambient may exceed 85°C. The TPS series is marked as General Purpose in features, meaning it does not carry automotive (AEC-Q200) or high-reliability screening; for mission-critical or automotive designs, verify the application-specific derating guidelines.
