The TPSW686M006R0110: The 110 mOhm ESR is the key parameter for ripple current handling — a lower ESR means less self-heating at a given ripple current, which directly affects the capacitor's operating life in a switching regulator output filter.
Case size, temperature range, and rework considerations
Rated for -55°C to 125°C operation, the part covers the full industrial temperature envelope and much of the automotive ambient range. The molded package is more robust than conformal-coated tantalums during rework — the epoxy body withstands hot-air profiles better, and the orientation mark (anode band) is clearly molded into the case, so pin 1 is unambiguous under a microscope.
Active lifecycle and standard sourcing
Supplied in tape-and-reel packaging, consistent with high-volume pick-and-place assembly. The ±20% tolerance is the standard offering for this series; if the circuit requires tighter tolerance, a different KYOCERA AVX tantalum series would be needed.
