Military temperature range in a standard molded case
The molded 2917 (7343 Metric) E case measures 7.30 mm x 4.30 mm with a seated height of 4.30 mm — a standard footprint shared across many tantalum suppliers, so the PCB layout is interchangeable if a second source is needed.
Lifetime is specified as 2000 hours at 125°C with rated voltage applied. In practice, operating at 80% of rated voltage (8 V) and at 85°C ambient will extend useful life well beyond the datasheet minimum — a common derating practice for tantalum capacitors in long-life equipment.
