Product details

150 µF, 20 V — bulk decoupling for 12 V rails

The TAJE157K020RNJ: This TAJ series molded tantalum capacitor delivers 150 µF at 20 V with ±10% tolerance — a standard value for smoothing 12 V power buses in telecom line cards, industrial control supplies, and DC-DC output stages.

Full military temperature range qualifies this cap for environments where commercial-grade parts fail: avionics power supplies, satellite bus filtering, downhole instrumentation, and engine-bay electronics. The molded case (EIA 2917 / 7343 Metric) handles the thermal cycling stress across that range without the cracking risk of conformal-coated chips in large case sizes.

The BOM line can be committed without an obsolescence risk.

Frequently asked questions

Is TAJE157K020RNJ RoHS compliant?

The evidence does not carry a RoHS compliance statement for this specific order code. Confirm with the manufacturer datasheet or your compliance team before committing the BOM.

What is the ESR of TAJE157K020RNJ?

300 mOhm at 100 kHz, typical for the TAJ E case size at 150 µF / 20 V.

Can TAJE157K020RNJ be used in high ripple applications?

The 300 mOhm ESR limits ripple current handling. For high-ripple switching regulator outputs, compare the calculated I²R self-heating against the part's power dissipation rating at your ambient temperature. The military temperature range gives headroom, but the ESR is not ultra-low — typical for a standard tantalum of this density.
