100 µF, 16 V — bulk decoupling for tight boards
This capacitance and voltage combination suits it for bulk decoupling on 5 V, 3.3 V, or 1.8 V rails where the applied voltage stays below 80% of the 16 V rating — a standard derating practice for solid tantalum to avoid surge failures. For a switching regulator, the self-heating from I²R must stay within the power dissipation capability of the 2917 (7343 Metric) package when the board copper area provides adequate thermal relief.
This means it can be deployed in avionics LRUs, downhole instrumentation, or satellite power buses without a temperature-grade downgrade — the capacitance change over this range stays within the ±10% tolerance at room temperature, though ESR roughly doubles at -55°C and halves at 125°C.
2917 (7343 Metric) — E case footprint
The 2917 (7343 Metric) package measures 7.30 mm x 4.30 mm with a seated height of 4.30 mm max. The E case code footprint is standard across the TAJ series — if your layout already accommodates an E-case tantalum, the TAJE107K016H drops in without a pad change. The molded body provides a flat top for pick-and-place nozzle vacuum pickup and the terminations are tin-plated for reflow soldering.
