The TAJC685M016SNJ: Rated 6.8 µF at 16 V, this molded tantalum sits comfortably on a 12 V supply with 4 V of headroom before the 16 V ceiling. The ±20% tolerance means the minimum capacitance at 0 °C is 5.44 µF — enough margin for a typical 100 mA load transient on a 12 V-to-3.3 V LDO output.
Manufacturer size code C uses a 2312 (6032 Metric) case measuring 6.00 mm x 3.20 mm with a seated height of 2.80 mm max. The molded package is surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles.
