Product details

The TPSE227M016R0150: The 150 mOhm ESR is the effective series resistance at 100 kHz — it governs ripple current handling and self-heating in power-supply decoupling or bulk storage roles. A lower ESR means less internal temperature rise for a given ripple current, which matters when the cap sits near a hot regulator or in a tight thermal enclosure.

Active production — quoted to order

KYOCERA AVX lists this part as Active in production.

2917 case, size code E — board-fit checklist

Surface-mount package in the 2917 (7343 Metric) footprint, manufacturer size code E. The molded case is standard for tantalum chip caps — the epoxy encapsulation protects the anode from mechanical stress and moisture ingress during reflow. Tape & Reel packaging suits volume pick-and-place; Cut Tape is available for prototype or low-volume builds.

-55 to 125 °C — full industrial temperature range

General-purpose feature set — no low-ESR or high-reliurance screening, so for mission-critical or high-vibration applications, verify the ripple current and surge limits against the circuit conditions.

Frequently asked questions

What is the case size and footprint for TPSE227M016R0150?

The capacitor uses the 2917 (7343 Metric) case, manufacturer size code E. Standard surface-mount assembly with no special pad geometry required beyond the datasheet land pattern.

What is the ESR of TPSE227M016R0150 and why does it matter?

ESR is 150 mOhm at 100 kHz typical. This value directly affects ripple current capability — a 150 mOhm ESR at 220 µF and 16 V means the capacitor can handle moderate ripple without excessive self-heating. For high-ripple bulk decoupling near a switching regulator, compare the calculated I²R loss against the part's rated ripple current (not listed here; check the full datasheet).
