A practical capacitor is a non-ideal component. Its circuit model contains series inductance (ESL) and series resistance (ESR). Although equivalent series resistance is often shown in circuit models as a constant value, it varies depending on operating conditions. ESR is resistance from a combination of energy loss mechanisms under specific operating conditions.

The tantalum polymer SMD are solid-state capacitors that demonstrate no wear out mechanism when operated within their recommended guidelines. Unlike their MnO2 counterparts, polymer capacitors don’t need to be derated as aggressively. Under most conditions of consumer electronics devices, polymer capacitors only need about 10% derating.
