TAJA225M016SNJ KYOCERA AVX 2.2 µF 16 V Tantalum Capacitor –

Molded tantalum, 2.2 µF, 16 V — the TAJ workhorse

The TAJA225M016SNJ: This is a molded tantalum capacitor from the TAJ series, 2.2 µF with ±20% tolerance, rated at 16 V. The 1206 case (3216 metric) is a standard footprint — you can drop it into any 1206 pad without a layout change. ESR is 6.5 Ohm at 100 kHz, which is typical for a size-A tantalum at this capacitance. On a 12 V rail with 25% derating margin, the 16 V rating gives you room before the part sees a voltage surge.

Temperature range and lifetime — what the ratings mean on your board

You can design it into a new BOM or keep using it on an existing line without worrying about a forced migration.
