6.8 µF, 10 V, 1.8 Ohm ESR — TPS series molded tantalum
The TPST685K010R1800: The 1.8 Ohm ESR at 100 kHz is the key parameter for decoupling and filtering applications — it governs ripple current handling and self-heating under AC load. Operating temperature spans -55 to 125 °C, covering industrial and automotive ambient ranges without derating at the upper end.
The T case code footprint matches standard 1210 land patterns — no pad geometry change needed if swapping from a different 1210 tantalum. Packaged on tape and reel (TR), suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. The molded body offers good mechanical stability during reflow and resists cracking from board flex better than conformally-coated parts.
Active lifecycle — sourcing posture
This is a current-production part suitable for new designs and ongoing BOM replenishment.
