Product details

2.2 µF at 16 V — the decoupling decision

The TPST225K016R2000: The 2 Ohm ESR means this part handles moderate ripple current in power rail decoupling or signal filtering — the series resistance limits the AC ripple the capacitor can absorb before self-heating becomes a concern. The ±10% tolerance is tight enough for most bypass and bulk storage roles; a looser ±20% grade would save cost if the exact value is non-critical.

Temperature range and deployment

The molded construction gives the capacitor a sealed body that resists moisture ingress better than uncoated tantalum chips — relevant if the board sees condensation or conformal coating.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ESR of TPST225K016R2000 and why does it matter?

The ESR is 2 Ohm. This is the equivalent series resistance that limits the capacitor's ripple current capability — a lower ESR would handle more AC ripple before self-heating, but 2 Ohm is typical for a 2.2 µF tantalum in this case size. For decoupling a 16 V rail drawing moderate transient current, it is adequate; for high-ripple switching regulators, a polymer or low-ESR tantalum would be a better fit.
