Automotive-grade tantalum for harsh environments
This means it is screened for the thermal and mechanical stress profiles found in under-hood, chassis, and infotainment domains. Rated at 22 µF ±10% with a 16 V voltage rating, it fits as a bulk decoupling cap on 3.3 V or 5 V rails where the derating rule (typically 50-80% of rated voltage) keeps the applied voltage under 10 V for long-life margin.
ESR and lifetime for power rail filtering
Maximum ESR is 1 Ohm at 100 kHz. For a 22 µF cap on a switching regulator output, this ESR sets the ripple voltage and the capacitor's own self-heating — a 1 Ohm ESR at 100 kHz is typical for a tantalum of this size, and the 2000-hour lifetime at 125°C is the endurance floor when the part is run at its full temperature rating.
Housed in a 2312 (6032 Metric) molded case, size code C, with dimensions 6.00 mm x 3.20 mm and a seated height of 2.80 mm. Surface-mount package — the standard 6032 footprint applies, with the anode (+) marked on the top face. The molded construction gives mechanical stability during reflow and under vibration.
