Product details

Capacitance and voltage derating for rail decoupling

The TAJA106K016RNJV delivers 10 µF at 16 V rated voltage in a molded 1206 case — a common bulk decoupling value for 3.3 V and 5 V rails. Applying the standard 50 % derating guideline for tantalum capacitors keeps the safe working voltage at 8 V, which leaves margin for ripple and transients on a 5 V supply.

ESR and ripple current — what the 3 Ohm spec means for the BOM

ESR is 3 Ohm at 100 kHz — this is the AC resistance that generates self-heating under ripple current. If the load draws higher ripple, a lower-ESR tantalum or a ceramic parallel cap is needed to stay within the thermal budget.

The molded case and surface-mount 1206 footprint simplify rework and conformal coating inspection.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ESR of TAJA106K016RNJV, and can it be used in low-ESR applications?

ESR is 3 Ohm at 100 kHz — this is a standard tantalum value, not a low-ESR grade. For low-ESR applications such as high-ripple switching regulator outputs, consider a polymer tantalum or a ceramic capacitor with ESR below 0.1 Ohm.

What is the closest alternative to TAJA106K016RNJV?

Any 10 µF, 16 V, ±10 %, 1206 case tantalum capacitor from the same TAJ series or from competing manufacturers (e.g., Kemet T491 series) is a direct functional equivalent. Confirm the ESR and operating temperature range match the application requirements.
