The TPSE157K010T0100V is a 150 µF molded tantalum capacitor from the TPS series, rated at 10 V with ±10% tolerance.
The molded epoxy case handles thermal cycling without cracking — a known failure mode in conformally-coated tantalums under rapid temperature change.
The ESR is 100 mOhm at 100 kHz. This is the series resistance that limits ripple current handling and self-heating. Higher ESR would increase output ripple and reduce capacitor lifetime.
However, the 2917 (7343 Metric) footprint and 150 µF / 10 V / 100 mOhm ESR combination is a standard parametric window. Kemet T520 series and Vishay 593D series offer functionally equivalent parts in the same case size — confirm the ESR and voltage derating at your operating temperature before substituting.
