Active production — 22 µF molded tantalum for harsh environments
The TAJD226K020PNJ is an active KYOCERA AVX TAJ series molded tantalum capacitor rated at 22 µF with a 20 V working voltage and ±10% tolerance. The molded case provides consistent mechanical protection and supports reflow soldering in surface-mount assembly.
ESR and ripple current — what 900 mOhm means for your rail
For a 22 µF output capacitor on a 500 kHz buck converter, the ripple current at 50 mA pk-pk produces roughly 2.25 mW of internal dissipation — well within the package's thermal budget at 85°C ambient. At higher ripple levels, derating the applied DC voltage by 50% per tantalum best practice keeps the failure rate below 1 FIT.
Sourcing — active with multi-source reach
The 2917 (7343 Metric) package is a standard tantalum footprint shared across multiple manufacturers, simplifying second-source qualification.
