The TAJB226K020ANJ is a molded tantalum capacitor from the KYOCERA AVX TAJ series, 22 µF ±10% with a 20 V rating in the B case size (1411 / 3528 metric).
ESR and ripple — what the 1.8 ohm rating means for your BOM
The 1.8 ohm ESR at 100 kHz sets the capacitor's ripple current capability — in a 500 kHz buck converter output filter, the self-heating from ripple current through this ESR adds to the 125°C ambient, so the 2000-hour life rating assumes the ripple current stays within the manufacturer's derating curve. For a 20 V rail with 100 mV pk-pk ripple, the ripple current through this capacitor is roughly 56 mA RMS — well within the typical derated limit for a B case at 125°C, but a layout engineer should verify the thermal impedance of the board's copper pour under the capacitor.
