Bulk tantalum for 2.5 V rails — 680 µF with 200 mOhm ESR
The TAJD687K002RNJ is a molded tantalum capacitor from the TAJ series, offering 680 µF capacitance at 2.5 V with a ±10% tolerance. The 200 mOhm ESR determines the ripple current rating and self-heating. The D-case (2917 / 7343 Metric) footprint is a common bulk tantalum size — 7.30 mm x 4.30 mm x 3.10 mm seated height. The molded body has no exposed metal on the sides, which reduces the risk of solder bridging during reflow, but the thermal mass is higher than a conformal-coated chip, so the reflow profile needs a longer preheat zone to avoid thermal shock to the tantalum anode.
Military temperature range in a surface-mount case
The D-case package is large enough that the thermal coefficient of capacitance must be budgeted in the output ripple calculation.
