This capacitance-voltage pair fits typical 3.3 V or 5 V rail bulk decoupling where the 20 V rating provides headroom against transients on a 12 V input. ESR is specified at 1.7 Ohm at 100 kHz — this is the AC loss term that governs ripple current handling.
Derating is standard practice for tantalum capacitors: applying a 50% voltage derating (10 V max applied on a 20 V part) dramatically reduces the failure rate.
Buyers need to confirm the part matches their circuit requirements before purchase.
Sourcing buyers need immediate availability and cost to fill BOM lines or make procurement decisions.
Design engineers must verify physical fit on the PCB layout.
Buyers may need alternative parts if this MPN is unavailable or for second-sourcing.
Compliance with environmental regulations is critical for many applications.
Reliability and operating conditions affect design validation and replacement decisions.
