68 µF bulk decoupling with a 95 mOhm ESR ceiling
The TPSV686M025R0095: Rated 68 µF at 25 V with a maximum ESR of 95 mOhm, this TPS-series tantalum is sized for power-rail smoothing where the ripple current and transient energy demand a low-impedance reservoir. The 95 mOhm ESR keeps the self-heating under control during charge-discharge cycles — a higher ESR would push the core temperature above the 125 °C absolute limit under sustained ripple. The ±20% tolerance is standard for tantalum electrolytics and covers the full temperature range; the actual capacitance at -55 °C will be near the low end of the band, so budget the minimum value for timing or filter poles that depend on the absolute capacitance.
2924 molded case — pick-and-place ready
The molded epoxy body withstands reflow profiles per J-STD-020; no special bake-out is required if the shelf-life and moisture-barrier bag are intact. Manufacturer size code V confirms the case dimensions — this is the same footprint used across the TPS family for 68 µF / 25 V ratings, so a BOM swap between suppliers that use the same case code is straightforward as long as the ESR and voltage derating match.
