Product details

Capacitor identity and key parametrics

The TPSW226M016R0500: The 500 mOhm ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) is the dominant loss term in this part — it governs ripple current handling and self-heating under load, so the derating curve matters more than the bare capacitance when the board sees high-frequency ripple from a switching regulator.

Package footprint and board-fit

The molded construction means the capacitor body is a solid epoxy block — no conformal coating issues, but the thermal pad under the part should have adequate copper area to pull heat from the internal anode during high-ripple operation.

Sourced through independent distribution channels; current pricing and lead time confirmed at quote against your BOM quantity.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ESR of TPSW226M016R0500 and why does it matter?

The ESR is 500 mOhm. This is the key loss parameter for a tantalum capacitor — it determines how much ripple current the part can handle before self-heating pushes it past the rated temperature. For a 22 µF part at 16 V, 500 mOhm is a standard value for general-purpose decoupling and bulk storage.
