The 2917 (7343 Metric) case with size code E is a standard footprint — the 7.30 mm x 4.30 mm body and 4.30 mm seated height fit most high-density layouts, though the molded package means no conformal-coat weep path along the seam.
The 125°C upper limit is the maximum case temperature; derating the applied voltage by 50% at 125°C is standard practice to keep the tantalum anode's leakage current within the safe operating area.
Within the same TAJ series, a part with the same 470 µF / 10 V rating and size code E but a different ESR or tolerance (e.g., ±10% or 300 mOhm) would be a functional alternative — confirm the ESR and derating requirements against the application before substituting.
Molded construction means the tantalum element is encapsulated in a plastic case — no conformal coating along the seam, so the part is not hermetically sealed. It is suitable for standard PCB assembly with no special moisture sensitivity level beyond the standard MSL 3 for tantalum capacitors.
