Molded tantalum for bulk decoupling and filtering
The TAJW336M016RNJ is a 33 µF molded tantalum capacitor from KYOCERA AVX's TAJ series, rated at 16 V with ±20% tolerance and 1.5 Ohm ESR. The 1.5 Ohm ESR is a key parameter for ripple current handling in power supply decoupling — higher ESR means more self-heating at a given ripple current, so the thermal budget in the application needs to account for it.
