Product details

The TAJA156K006HNJ: This is a 15 µF tantalum capacitor rated at 6.3 VDC in a standard 1206 (3216 Metric) case. The 3.5 Ohm ESR at 100 kHz sets the ripple current ceiling — for a 100 kHz switching regulator output, the ripple current through this cap should stay under ~200 mA RMS to avoid self-heating beyond the 125°C limit. The ±10% tolerance is tight enough for most bulk decoupling and filtering roles; if the BOM calls for a 15 µF, 6.3 V cap in a 1206 footprint, this part fits without a layout change.

The 2000-hour endurance at 125°C is the standard qualification for tantalum capacitors. In a 85°C ambient with proper voltage derating (typically 50% of rated voltage), the service life extends well beyond 2000 hours — the temperature acceleration factor roughly halves the aging rate per 10°C drop.

Frequently asked questions

Can TAJA156K006HNJ replace T491A156M006AT?

Both are 15 µF, 6.3 V tantalum caps in a 1206 case with ±10% tolerance. The T491 series is a KEMET product; the TAJ series is KYOCERA AVX. Pin-to-pin compatibility depends on the specific ESR and ripple current requirements of your circuit — compare the datasheet ESR curves before substituting.
