What this molded tantalum is rated for
The 2 Ohm ESR is the key derating parameter — it sets the maximum AC ripple current the part can absorb without self-heating beyond its thermal limit. At 125°C ambient, the ripple budget is tighter than at 25°C; a layout engineer should derate per the voltage-temperature curve in the TAJ series datasheet.
Surface-mount in a 1411 (3528 Metric) case, B size code, measuring 3.50 mm x 2.80 mm with a seated height of 2.10 mm max. The 1210 footprint is compatible — the same land pattern used for standard tantalum chips.
