100 µF at 16 V — bulk decoupling for 12 V and 5 V rails
The TPSF107M016R0200: The 200 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz is the spec that governs ripple current handling and self-heating. For a switching regulator output, this ESR keeps the ripple voltage within a few tens of millivolts at typical load currents — the capacitor runs cool enough that the 125°C ceiling is rarely the limit.
2312 case — footprint and board-fit
The molded construction gives consistent dimensional tolerance and good moisture resistance for a tantalum part. No exposed anode — the epoxy case seals the element, so the capacitor handles standard board wash cycles without wicking electrolyte.
Active lifecycle — no end-of-life pressure
The TPS series is a broad, mature line of molded tantalum capacitors. Second-source equivalents exist from other manufacturers in the same 2312 case with matching capacitance and voltage ratings, but the 200 mOhm ESR spec is specific to this AVX variant — a substitute needs the same or lower ESR to keep ripple performance.
Cut Tape suits prototype or low-volume builds. RoHS compliance is standard for this series, though the specific directive declarations are confirmed at quote. Availability and current pricing confirmed at RFQ — no stock-holding claim, but the active status means lead times are predictable through authorized distribution.
