Product details

The TPSD686K020R0070: The 70 mOhm ESR is the figure that governs ripple current handling and self-heating in power-supply output filtering — lower ESR means less I²R loss at the switching frequency.

D-case 2917 footprint and temperature range

The -55°C to 125°C operating range covers the full automotive and industrial temperature envelope — no derating required at 85°C ambient for the voltage rating, though tantalum derating guidelines recommend staying below 80% of rated voltage for best reliability.

Active lifecycle — no end-of-life risk

Frequently asked questions

What is the ESR of TPSD686K020R0070 and why does it matter?

The ESR is 70 mOhm. This is the dominant parameter for ripple current capability in DC-DC converter output stages — a 1 A ripple current dissipates 70 mW internally. Lower ESR also means less output voltage ripple at the switching frequency.
