What the 9 Ohm ESR means for your circuit
The TAJA105K020K: At 1 µF and 20 V, the 9 Ohm ESR dominates the impedance at frequencies below a few hundred kHz — for a decoupling application, the capacitor's self-resonant frequency and the ripple current rating are both set by this resistance, not the capacitance alone.
Active production — no lifecycle concern
Listed as Active from KYOCERA AVX.
Temperature grade and mounting
The 1206 (3216 Metric) case is a common footprint; reflow profile follows standard tantalum recommendations.
