Molded tantalum, 3.3 µF, 16 V — what fits the BOM
The TAJS335K016RNJ is a Molded tantalum capacitor from the TAJ series, rated 3.3 µF at 16 V with ±10% tolerance. The 5 Ohm ESR is the spec that matters most for ripple handling and transient response in decoupling or filtering roles — a higher ESR than ceramic alternatives means more self-heating under AC ripple, so the ripple current budget is tighter.
