Its AEC-Q200 qualification places it in the automotive reliability track — suitable for engine-bay ECUs, transmission controllers, and chassis modules where the ambient temperature hits 125°C and the capacitor must survive 2000 hours of continuous bias at that ceiling. The 1206 (3216 Metric) footprint is a standard low-profile decoupling size for 6.3 V rails — the 1.80 mm seated height fits tight PCB stack-ups in multilayer automotive boards. In automotive 12 V-to-3.3 V buck converters, the 6.3 V rating provides 1.9× derating from the nominal rail, which is standard practice for tantalum reliability. The 2000-hour endurance at 125°C is the rated life under full DC bias at maximum temperature. In an engine-bay environment where the ambient cycles between -55°C and 125°C, this capacitor's wear-out is dominated by the time spent above 105°C. For a vehicle that runs 8 hours daily, 2000 hours translates to roughly 250 days of continuous high-temperature operation before the leakage current drifts outside the datasheet limit.","metaTitle":"TAJA156K006TNJ – KYOCERA AVX 15 µF Molded Tantalum Capacitor","metaDescription":"TAJA156K006TNJ: 15 µF ±10%, 6.3 V, AEC-Q200 automotive-grade tantalum capacitor in 1206 case. 2000 hrs at 125°C, 3.5 Ohm ESR.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Specialty Capacitors"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"KYOCERA AVX","Type":"Molded","Series":"TAJ","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR)","Ratings":"AEC-Q200","Features":"Automotive","Tolerance":"±10%","Capacitance":"15 µF","Failure Rate":"-","Lead Spacing":"-","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"1206 (3216 Metric)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage - Rated":"6.3 V","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Lifetime @ Temp.":"2000 Hrs @ 125°C","Size / Dimension":"0.126\\\" L x 0.063\\\" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm)","Height - Seated (Max)":"0.071\\\" (1.80mm)","Operating Temperature":"-55°C~125°C","Manufacturer Size Code":"A","ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance)":"3.5Ohm @ 100kHz"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.1266","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/230b63b3c07837ca7d5426a7ac6cd98c.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/TAJA156K006TNJ/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is TAJA156K006TNJ AEC-Q200 qualified?","answer":"Yes, the TAJA156K006TNJ is rated AEC-Q200, meaning it has passed automotive-grade stress tests including temperature cycling, moisture resistance, and mechanical shock per the AEC-Q200 passive-component qualification standard.
