The TPSY686M010R0100: The 100 mOhm ESR at 10 V is the figure that governs ripple current handling and output voltage ripple in a DC-DC converter output filter — a lower ESR means less self-heating and tighter regulation at the switching frequency. The Y size code corresponds to this case dimension set.
The molded case construction provides mechanical protection during reflow and in-service vibration.
The ESR is 100 mOhm at 10 V. This value determines the capacitor's ripple current rating and self-heating in power supply applications — a 100 mOhm ESR at 68 µF keeps output ripple voltage manageable for a typical 500 kHz to 1 MHz buck converter output stage.
