Technical Specifications

The TPSD157K010R0125 utilizes a tantalum anode and a manganese dioxide cathode. The D case size provides a good balance between capacitance and size. The low ESR value of 0.125 Ohms is particularly important in applications where minimizing power loss and ripple is critical. It is designed to meet or exceed industry standards for reliability and performance.

This capacitor is commonly used where space is a constraint and high performance is required. The 10V voltage rating makes it suitable for many low-voltage applications. The ±10% tolerance ensures consistent performance within acceptable limits. The part is delivered in tape and reel packaging for automated assembly.
