10 µF at 50 V — bulk decoupling for 24 V to 48 V rails
The TPSE106M050R0400: Rated 10 µF at 50 V, this tantalum chip sits in the sweet spot for bulk decoupling on 24 V, 28 V, and 48 V power rails. The 50 V rating provides derating margin — standard practice for MnO₂ tantalums is to operate at no more than 50-60% of rated voltage for reliability, so this part comfortably handles 24-28 V rails with headroom. The 400 mOhm ESR sets the ripple current handling and filter corner frequency. In a typical output capacitor application, this ESR dominates the impedance at switching frequencies above a few hundred kHz — the voltage ripple is I_ripple × ESR, not the capacitive division.
2917 E-case — the standard tantalum footprint
No footprint surprise when swapping between AVX, Kemet, or Vishay equivalents. Surface-mount molded construction, TPS series, rated for general-purpose use.
Temperature range covers full industrial ambient
Operating temperature spans -55°C to +125°C. No derating needed at 85°C; at 125°C the voltage derating recommendation still applies.
