Product details

1500 µF bulk capacitance with 50 mOhm ESR

The TPSE158K004R0050: The 50 mOhm ESR is the defining parameter here — it sets the ripple current capability and the output voltage ripple in a DC-DC converter's bulk cap position. A lower ESR means less self-heating under AC ripple, which directly extends the capacitor's service life in high-frequency switching applications.

Full temperature range and case details

Operating from -55°C to 125°C, this cap covers the full industrial and military temperature envelope — no derating needed for most automotive under-hood or outdoor telecom enclosures. The ±10% tolerance is tighter than the standard ±20% for tantalum electrolytics, which matters when the capacitance value sits inside a filter pole or timing circuit where the tolerance band directly affects the corner frequency.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ESR of TPSE158K004R0050 and why does it matter?

The ESR is 50 mOhm. This is the equivalent series resistance at the capacitor's self-resonant frequency. A 50 mOhm ESR means the cap can handle higher ripple current without excessive internal heating compared to a higher-ESR tantalum, making it suitable for output filtering in switching regulators where the AC ripple current is significant.

What temperature range does TPSE158K004R0050 cover?

This covers full industrial, military, and most automotive under-hood applications without derating.

What is the case size and package for TPSE158K004R0050?

It is a surface-mount molded tantalum delivered in Tape & Reel packaging.
