Automotive-grade molded tantalum — why the AEC-Q200 rating matters
The 2000-hour endurance at 125°C sets the thermal budget: if your design sees sustained 125°C ambient, plan for a replacement interval or derate voltage.
Capacitance, voltage, and ESR — what they drive on the board
At 2.2 µF and 20 V rated voltage, this part suits 12 V rail decoupling or low-frequency filtering where the 5.3-ohm ESR at 100 kHz limits ripple current handling. The ±10% tolerance is tight enough for timing or bias circuits but not for precision analog filters — expect the actual capacitance to fall between 1.98 µF and 2.42 µF at 25°C.
Active lifecycle — sourcing posture for this order code
The 1206 (3216 Metric) footprint is widely stocked across the independent channel, so lead times are typically short for volume commitments.
