68 µF, 16 V molded tantalum — TAJ series, D case
The 2917 (7343 Metric) D case measures 7.30 mm x 4.30 mm with a seated height of 3.10 mm, fitting standard surface-mount assembly lines. For a 68 µF part at 16 V, this ESR is typical for a standard MnO2 tantalum; polymer or ceramic alternatives would offer lower ESR but different derating rules.
The molded case provides mechanical protection and moisture resistance consistent with standard tantalum reliability testing.
