Automotive-grade tantalum — what the AEC-Q200 rating buys you
The TAJA476K006TNJ is a molded tantalum capacitor from the KYOCERA AVX TAJ series, rated 47 µF at 6.3 V with ±10% tolerance. The 2000-hour endurance at 125°C sets the thermal budget: this cap can sit on a 125°C engine-bay board for the rated life.
ESR and ripple — sizing the decoupling bank
The ESR dominates self-heating — for a 200 mA ripple, the internal temperature rise is roughly 64 mW × Rth, well within the 125°C limit if the board copper helps dissipate.
