Product details

68 µF bulk decoupling in a 2917 footprint

The TPSE686K025R0125: The ±10% tolerance and -55°C to 125°C operating range cover the full industrial temperature envelope, so the capacitance stays within spec across a motor-drive cabinet or an outdoor telecom enclosure without a derating step at the high end.

The molded case (Type: Molded) and TPS series designation indicate a standard tantalum construction with a solid electrolyte and a flame-retardant epoxy encapsulation. The 125 mOhm ESR is the equivalent series resistance at 100 kHz and 25°C. The low ESR also improves the transient response — the output voltage recovers faster after a load step compared to a standard tantalum with 500 mOhm ESR.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to TPSE686K025R0125 in this Specialty Capacitors family?

The TPS series includes other 2917-case tantalum capacitors with the same footprint and voltage rating. A direct parametric alternative would be a 68 µF, 25 V, 2917 tantalum from the same TPS family with a different ESR value — for example, the TPSE686K025R0100 (100 mOhm ESR) or TPSE686K025R0150 (150 mOhm ESR). The pinout and case size are identical, so the BOM position accepts any of these without a PCB change.

What compliance documentation does KYOCERA AVX provide for TPSE686K025R0125?

KYOCERA AVX provides RoHS and REACH compliance documentation for the TPS series. The molded tantalum construction is halogen-free per the standard material declaration. No UL or IEC certification is listed for this capacitor — tantalum capacitors are typically not UL-listed as a component class.
