What the 47 µF rating buys you in a low-voltage rail
The TAJA476K006RNJV is a 47 µF molded tantalum capacitor from KYOCERA AVX's TAJ series, rated at 6.3 V with ±10% tolerance.
ESR and lifetime — the thermal reality check
ESR is specified at 1.6 Ohm at 100 kHz. In a switching regulator output filter, that ESR sets the ripple voltage and the I²R self-heating. At 125°C the part is rated for 2000 hours — if your design runs cooler, say 85°C, the useful life extends well beyond that figure following the Arrhenius acceleration typical of tantalum capacitors.
The 1206 package (3.20 mm x 1.60 mm footprint, 1.80 mm seated height) fits tight PCB layouts where vertical clearance is limited.
