33 µF, 2.5 V — TAJ series molded tantalum in 1206
The TAJA336K002RNJ is a 33 µF molded tantalum capacitor from the KYOCERA AVX TAJ series, rated at 2.5 V with ±10% tolerance. The 1.7 Ohm ESR at 100 kHz sets the ripple current ceiling — for a 33 µF part in a 1206 case, this ESR is typical for the size code A, meaning the capacitor is suited for bulk decoupling on low-voltage rails where the ripple current stays under 300 mA RMS.
1206 footprint — board layout note
Package is 1206 (3216 Metric), size code A, with dimensions 3.20 mm x 1.60 mm and a seated height of 1.80 mm max. The molded body is non-hermetic — standard MSL 3 handling applies. The 2.5 V rated voltage means this part should never see more than 1.25 V DC bias at 125 °C if following the 50% derating guideline for tantalum capacitors in high-reliability designs.
