TAJB156M016RNJ 15 µF 16 V Tantalum Capacitor – KYOCERA AVX

15 µF, 16 V, 2.5 Ohm ESR — the bench numbers that matter

The TAJB156M016RNJ: This is a 15 µF tantalum capacitor rated for 16 V, built in the molded TAJ series from KYOCERA AVX. For a 15 µF cap on a 16 V rail, that ESR translates to roughly 250 mA ripple current before the internal temperature rise hits 10 °C — a solid margin for most decoupling and filtering duties.

Molded case, B size, surface-mount footprint

The molded case (Type: Molded) in size code B measures 3.50 mm x 2.80 mm with a seated height of 2.10 mm max. It fits the standard 1411 (3528 Metric) / 1210 footprint — a common pad layout for tantalum chip caps, with the anode mark on the positive end.
