Active production — 680 µF at 10 V with 150 mOhm ESR
The TPSE687M010R0150V: The 150 mOhm ESR is the key parameter for ripple current handling — a lower ESR means the capacitor can absorb more AC ripple without self-heating, which directly affects the usable ripple current in a DC-link or output filter application.
Temperature endurance and operating range
The 2000-hour endurance at maximum rated temperature means the capacitor's lifetime is derated by the actual operating temperature — running it at 85 °C instead of 125 °C extends the usable life well beyond the rated figure per the Arrhenius acceleration model typical for tantalum electrolytics.
2917 case, size code E — PCB footprint
Surface-mount packaging in tape-and-reel format means it feeds directly into a pick-and-place machine; no manual insertion step.
Tolerance and general-purpose rating
The ±20 % tolerance is the standard for tantalum electrolytics — the capacitance at 10 V bias will measure between 544 µF and 816 µF, which is acceptable for bulk decoupling and energy storage where exact capacitance is not critical. Marked as general-purpose (no low-ESR or automotive-specific suffix), this part is a workhorse capacitor for power-supply input/output filtering, DC-DC converter output stages, and general board-level decoupling where the 150 mOhm ESR is sufficient.
