22 µF at 20 V — B-case molded tantalum
The TAJB226K020HNJ: This is a 22 µF, 20 V molded tantalum capacitor from the KYOCERA AVX TAJ series, housed in the B case size (1411 / 3528 Metric). The 20 V rating leaves headroom on a 12 V or 5 V rail — a 50 % derating guideline for tantalum means the applied voltage should stay below 13.3 V for this part, which covers most 12 V bus applications.
2000-hour endurance at 125°C
1.8 Ω ESR — what it means for ripple
A 1.8 Ω ESR is typical for a B-case tantalum — adequate for output filtering on a low-ripple LDO or as bulk storage on a moderate-load rail, but not suited for high-ripple switch-mode inputs where a polymer or ceramic would be a better fit.
