Product details

10 µF, 16 V, 800 mOhm — the ESR drives the decoupling decision

The TPST106K016H0800: The 800 mOhm ESR is the parameter that governs ripple current handling and self-heating in power rail decoupling — a lower ESR means less voltage ripple for a given load transient, but also less internal temperature rise under AC ripple. For a 16 V rail with a 100 kHz switching regulator, this ESR keeps the capacitor's ripple current within its thermal budget without oversizing the package.

Rated for -55°C to 125°C, this part covers the full industrial temperature range — suitable for outdoor telecom, automotive under-hood (with appropriate derating), and engine-bay enclosures. The molded case provides mechanical protection and consistent standoff height for cleaning under the component.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ESR of TPST106K016H0800 and why does it matter?

The ESR is 800 mOhm at 100 kHz. This value determines how much the capacitor heats up under ripple current and how much voltage ripple appears on the rail. For a 10 µF decoupling cap on a 16 V supply, 800 mOhm is a typical ESR for a molded tantalum in this package — it handles moderate ripple without excessive self-heating, but for high-ripple applications like a switching regulator output, a lower-ESR polymer or ceramic alternative may be preferred.
