Molded tantalum, 1 µF at 16 V — what it fits
The TAJA105K016B: This is a molded tantalum capacitor from the TAJ series, 1 µF ±10% capacitance with a 16 V DC rating in a standard 1206 (3216 Metric) surface-mount package. The molded construction gives consistent mechanical dimensions and good moisture resistance for general-purpose board-level decoupling, filtering, or timing circuits.
Active production — ordering and lifecycle
The TAJ series is a broad molded-tantalum family; the TAJA105K016B is the 1 µF / 16 V / size A variant. No direct pin-compatible cross from another manufacturer is listed, but any molded tantalum in the same case code, voltage, and capacitance will fit the same footprint — confirm the derating guidelines for your application.
Package and footprint — 1206 case
1206 case (3.20 mm x 1.60 mm footprint, 1.80 mm seated height) — a common two-terminal SMD footprint that reflows on standard FR-4 with no special pad geometry. The size code A matches the EIA 1206 outline. Supplied on Tape & Reel (TR), compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly. The molded body is polarity-marked; reverse-voltage insertion is a field failure mode for tantalum capacitors.
