Temperature range and derating margin
The TPSE107K020R0150: Operating from -55°C to 125°C, this capacitor covers industrial and military temperature grades without a separate screening step. The 20 V rating provides a 20% derating margin on a 16 V rail — standard practice for tantalum capacitors to reduce failure rate from surge current. The molded construction offers better mechanical protection than conformally coated parts and handles the reflow profile of lead-free solder without cracking the body. Tape-and-reel packaging supports automated pick-and-place for volume assembly.
