Product details

The TPSE106K050R0500 is listed as Active by KYOCERA AVX, meaning the manufacturer continues to produce it without a planned end-of-life notice.

10 µF at 50 V — the bulk decoupling sweet spot

Rated 10 µF at 50 V with ±10% tolerance, this tantalum fits power-rail decoupling where the rail sits at 24 V to 48 V and the margin to the 50 V rating covers transients. The 500 mOhm ESR sets the ripple current handling — at 100 kHz the self-heating is manageable for most DC-DC output stages, but the ESR also limits the capacitor's ability to absorb fast load steps compared to a low-ESR polymer.

Molded case, E code, 2917 footprint

This is the standard high-capacitance tantalum footprint — the same land pattern serves the TPS series across the E case.

The capacitance change over this range is typical for tantalum — expect about -10% at -55°C and +15% at 125°C relative to the 25°C value, though the ESR rises at low temperature.

Frequently asked questions

How can I order TPSE106K050R0500 or check availability?

The TPSE106K050R0500 is an active part sourced through independent distribution. No stock-holding claim is made here — each order is quoted against the BOM line.

What is the ESR of TPSE106K050R0500 and why does it matter?

The equivalent series resistance is 500 mOhm. This ESR determines the ripple current rating and the self-heating under AC load. For a 100 kHz switching regulator output, the ripple current heats the capacitor; staying within the ripple current limit (derived from the ESR and the maximum operating temperature) prevents premature failure. The 500 mOhm value is moderate — low-ESR polymer capacitors in the same footprint can offer 10–20 mOhm, but the tantalum's voltage rating and temperature stability are different trade-offs.
