Molded tantalum for tight spots
The TAJT225K035RNJ is a molded tantalum capacitor from the KYOCERA AVX TAJ series, built for surface-mount assembly on boards where a 1411 (3528 Metric) footprint fits tight layout constraints. The 4.2 Ohm ESR sets the ripple current ceiling — a repair bench check: if the cap runs hot on a steady 100 mA ripple, the internal temperature rise may exceed the molded case rating.
The molded case and surface-mount package keep the part stable across thermal cycling; no conformal-coat compatibility issues on production boards.
