Case, footprint, and rework
The TPSE476M025R0100: The molded construction gives the capacitor mechanical stability and moisture resistance, and the package has clear polarity marking — pin 1 is the anode end, so orientation is unambiguous under a microscope or during hand placement.
Temperature range and deployment
The TPS series is positioned as a general-purpose low-ESR tantalum line, used for bulk decoupling, hold-up capacitance, and output filtering in power supplies where aluminium electrolytics are too large or have insufficient ripple rating.
