Active production — BOM-fit parameters
The KYOCERA AVX TPSE477M006R0050V is an active-production molded tantalum capacitor in the TPS series. The 470 µF capacitance at 6.3 V rated voltage targets low-voltage power rail bulk decoupling where ripple current and hold-up time dominate the selection decision. ESR is 50 mOhm at 100 kHz — this is the figure that governs ripple current handling and output voltage ripple. A lower ESR means less self-heating for a given ripple current, extending the capacitor's usable life in power-converter output filters or point-of-load decoupling. This temperature grade covers high-ambient industrial environments and under-hood automotive zones; derate the ripple current above 85°C per the manufacturer's curve.
2917 (7343 Metric) footprint — layout and sourcing
Package is the 2917 (7343 Metric) case, manufacturer size code E. The molded case and surface-mount termination are compatible with standard reflow profiles. Supplied on tape and reel (TR) — the packaging format suits automated pick-and-place lines. Tolerance is ±20%. For a 470 µF rated part, the actual capacitance at DC bias and temperature will fall between 376 µF and 564 µF — ensure the minimum capacitance at the operating voltage meets the downstream regulator's stability requirements.
