Active production — what that means for your BOM line
The TPSY157M016R0200: No stock-holding claim is made here — the order is quoted to your BOM quantity.
The 200 mOhm ESR is the number that governs ripple current handling and self-heating — a lower ESR means less temperature rise for the same ripple, which directly affects reliability in a power supply. The 2.0 mm seated height (size code Y) means it fits under low-profile components or heatsinks on the opposite side of the board.
Temperature range and mounting — where it works and how it sits
Rated for -55°C to +125°C operating temperature, this cap covers the full industrial temperature span and the lower end of automotive under-hood requirements. The molded case is compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles and pick-and-place equipment. Derate the applied voltage to 50-80% of the 16 V rating for best reliability, per standard tantalum derating practice.
