ESR is specified at 3 Ohm at 100 kHz. The 10 V rating on a 10 µF cap means a 50% derating is standard practice for tantalum: running at 5 V or below keeps the failure rate negligible. At 125°C, further derating to 2/3 of rated voltage is recommended per AVX application notes.
TAJA106K010TNJ carries an Active lifecycle status.
Yes, the capacitor carries AEC-Q200 qualification, which covers automotive-grade stress testing including temperature cycling, moisture resistance, and mechanical shock. It is suitable for under-hood and cabin electronics.
The suffix 'TNJ' vs 'SNJ' typically indicates a different packaging or termination finish variant within the TAJ series. Both share the same 10 µF, 10 V, ±10%, and AEC-Q200 ratings. Confirm the termination plating (tin vs tin/lead) and reel packaging with the datasheet — the electrical specs are identical.
Yes — standard practice for tantalum capacitors is to derate to 50% of rated voltage for reliable operation. For the 10 V rating, this means a maximum applied voltage of 5 V at temperatures up to 85°C. At 125°C, further derating to 2/3 of rated voltage (approx 6.6 V) is recommended.
ESR is specified at 3 Ohm at 100 kHz. This value determines the ripple current capability and self-heating — for a given ripple current, power dissipation is I² × ESR.
