100 µF bulk decoupling in a 2917 footprint
The TPSE107K016R0100: The 100 mOhm ESR is the figure that governs ripple current handling and self-heating — a lower ESR means the capacitor runs cooler under the same AC ripple, which directly affects long-term reliability in power-supply output filters and DC-DC converter input decoupling.
Temperature range and tolerance for industrial BOM fit
Rated for -55°C to +125°C operation, this capacitor spans the full industrial temperature envelope and reaches into the lower band of automotive under-hood applications — the 125°C ceiling is the key spec for designs that see sustained ambient heat near the engine bay or in sealed enclosures. The ±10% tolerance is the standard precision grade for tantalum capacitors in general-purpose decoupling and filtering roles; tighter than ±20% but not as costly as ±5% parts, it is the typical choice for power rail bypass where the exact capacitance value is not critical but the ESR and voltage rating are.
Surface-mount construction with a molded body — the molded case provides mechanical robustness and consistent dimensional tolerance compared to conformally coated tantalum chips, which matters for automated optical inspection (AOI) pass rates.
