Key parametrics and what they drive
The TPSE336M025R0100: The 100 mOhm ESR keeps the self-heating low at moderate ripple — a 1 A ripple dissipates 100 mW, well within the package's thermal capability at 85 °C ambient. The ±20% tolerance is standard for tantalum capacitors in this class — the capacitance at 25 V bias will sit near the nominal value, but derate the applied voltage to 50-60% of rated for best reliability, as with all MnO2 tantalum types.
Temperature grade and deployment
Rated for -55°C to +125°C operation — this covers the full industrial temperature range and extends into the low end of automotive under-hood ambient. A capacitor specified for this band can sit on a board near a hot processor or in an outdoor enclosure without derating the temperature limit.
