At 6.3 V rated, the recommended DC bias is 3.2-3.8 V. A 5 V rail is too close to the rating — use a 10 V or 16 V rated part instead to avoid field failures from voltage surges or inrush. Suitable for avionics black boxes, downhole instrumentation, and engine-bay ECUs that see thermal cycling from cold soak to under-hood heat. The 1206 case and molded construction handle vibration and moisture common in those environments. ## Active production sourcing","metaTitle":"TPSA226K006R0900 – KYOCERA AVX Molded Tantalum Cap 22 µF","metaDescription":"Active-production 22 µF ±10% tantalum capacitor in 1206 case, 6.3 V rated, 900 mOhm ESR, -55 to 125 °C.
