220 µF bulk decoupling on a 16 V rail
The TPSV227K016R0150: The 150 mOhm ESR keeps ripple heating within the package limits for most switching-regulator output stages. The molded case (type Molded) gives a defined outline for pick-and-place and reflow — no conformal-coating issues with the case seam, and the flat top aids vacuum pickup.
Temperature range and derating context
Rated for -55 °C to +125 °C operation, the TPSV227K016R0150 covers the full industrial temperature envelope and the lower end of automotive under-hood ambient. At 125 °C the voltage derating recommendation tightens — KYOCERA AVX typically recommends 2/3 of rated voltage above 85 °C, so the 16 V cap should not see more than about 10.7 V at the high end of the range. The ±10% tolerance (code K) is standard for tantalum electrolytics. For decoupling applications the capacitance spread is less critical than the ESR stability; the 150 mOhm figure is the maximum ESR at 100 kHz and 25 °C, and it rises with temperature and frequency per the typical tantalum characteristic.
Active lifecycle — no LTB pressure
Listed as Active by KYOCERA AVX, the TPSV227K016R0150 carries no last-time-buy or end-of-life notice. The TPS series is a standard molded tantalum line with broad distribution coverage, so BOM continuity for production runs is straightforward — no need to qualify a substitute for an existing design.
