Product details

33 µF at 16 V — the bulk decoupling and filter fit

The TPSW336M016R0140: That footprint is common for mid-value tantalums in power supply outputs and rail decoupling — the low profile helps when board-to-board clearance is tight.

Temperature range and the operating envelope

At 125°C the voltage derating curve applies — the 16 V rating at room temperature drops to roughly 10 V at the upper limit, so a 12 V rail leaves no margin at high temperature. Surface-mount molded construction means the part is self-shielding and handles reflow profiles up to 260°C peak. The molded body resists moisture absorption better than conformal-coated chips, but a 24-hour bake at 125°C before rework is still the safe call if the reel has been open more than 72 hours.

Active production — no last-time-buy pressure

The TPS series is a broad portfolio; if a different capacitance or voltage rating is needed for a BOM revision, the same W-case footprint accepts values from 10 µF to 100 µF at 6.3 V to 25 V without a PCB layout change.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ESR and why does it matter for this capacitor?

The ESR is 140 mOhm. This value determines how much ripple current the capacitor can handle before self-heating becomes a reliability risk — at 140 mOhm, the cap can safely carry about 1 A of ripple current in still air before exceeding a 15°C internal temperature rise.
