Molded tantalum in a 1206 footprint
The 1206 (3216 Metric) case is a common footprint for decoupling and filtering on space-constrained PCBs — the 0.126" x 0.063" land pattern fits alongside passives in a mixed-signal layout without forcing a wider board pitch.
Temperature grade and reliability ceiling
The 2000 hours at 125°C is the accelerated life test condition; continuous operation at lower ambient temperatures extends useful life significantly. The molded case provides mechanical protection and moisture resistance compared to uncoated chip capacitors. The 1206 body's 0.071" seated height keeps the profile low for mezzanine or card-edge assemblies where clearance is tight.
For new designs, this part is a safe BOM entry; for existing production, the active status means last-time-buy windows are not a concern.
