The TAJA106M016UNJ is a 10 µF ±20% molded tantalum capacitor rated at 16 V, built in the TAJ series by KYOCERA AVX. It comes in a standard 1206 (3216 Metric) surface-mount package, 3.20 mm x 1.60 mm footprint, with a seated height of 1.80 mm max. AEC-Q200 qualification means this part passed automotive-grade stress tests — thermal cycling, moisture resistance, and mechanical shock — making it suitable for under-hood, chassis, and infotainment modules where board temperature swings from -55°C to 125°C. The 3 Ohm ESR at 100 kHz sets a ceiling on ripple current handling; in a 16 V rail decoupling application, this cap pairs well with a low-ESR ceramic bypass to handle high-frequency transients.

Frequently asked questions
Is TAJA106M016UNJ AEC-Q200 qualified?
Yes, it carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which certifies it for use in automotive electronics requiring reliability stress testing per the AEC-Q200 standard.
Is TAJA106M016UNJ a direct replacement for TAJA106M010UNJ?
Both share the same 10 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 1206 package, and TAJ series construction. The TAJA106M016UNJ is rated at 16 V, while TAJA106M010UNJ is rated at 10 V. The 16 V part can replace the 10 V part in the same footprint, offering higher voltage margin, but confirm the ESR and ripple current requirements of your circuit before substituting.
