The 2917 (7343 Metric) surface-mount package with D case code (7.30 mm x 4.30 mm footprint, 3.10 mm seated height) is a standard tantalum footprint shared across many suppliers — the board layout is interchangeable with other D-case tantalum caps from Kemet or Vishay, so a BOM swap does not require a PCB respin. The molded construction provides mechanical robustness and moisture resistance compared to uncoated chip tantalums.
Package and mounting — 2917 D-case checklist
Surface-mount on a 2917 (7343 Metric) footprint. The D case code specifies a 7.30 mm x 4.30 mm pad layout with a 3.10 mm maximum seated height. Standard reflow profiles for tantalum capacitors apply — preheat ramp rate below 3°C/s, peak temperature 260°C, time above 217°C not exceeding 30 seconds. The molded body is compatible with both convection and vapor-phase reflow.
