10 µF, 16 V — the decoupling and filtering workhorse
TAJB106M016KNJ is a molded tantalum capacitor from the TAJ series, rated 10 µF at 16 V with ±20% tolerance. The 2.8 Ω ESR at 100 kHz sets the ripple current ceiling — for a 100 kHz switching regulator output, the I²R heating from ripple current must stay within the part's dissipation rating.
The 2000-hour endurance at 125°C means it survives sustained high-temperature operation in avionics, downhole instrumentation, or engine-bay electronics — the derating curve below 125°C extends useful life further.
