100 µF, 16 V tantalum — ESR and temperature grade drive the fit
The TPSY107M016R0200: A lower ESR means less voltage droop under transient load, but the 200 mOhm figure is typical for a 100 µF/16 V tantalum in this case size. The -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range covers full industrial and military-grade environments, including engine-bay or downhole applications where the ambient exceeds 85°C.
Package and board-fit — 2917 footprint, 2.0 mm seated height
The Y size code corresponds to this specific case dimension set. Supplied in tape and reel packaging, the part is ready for automated pick-and-place assembly. The molded case provides mechanical stability during reflow and resists cracking from board flex better than conformally-coated tantalums. The ±20% tolerance is standard for tantalum electrolytics — derate the applied voltage to 50-60% of the 16 V rating for reliable operation, as tantalum capacitors have no self-healing mechanism and fail short under overvoltage stress.
Active lifecycle — no obsolescence concern for current BOMs
As an active part, it is available through authorized distribution channels. Sourcing is straightforward — confirm the reel quantity and lead time at RFQ for the specific BOM line.
