Product details

The TAJY227K002RNJ: This is a molded tantalum capacitor from the TAJ series, rated 220 µF at 2.5 V with ±10% tolerance. The 300 mOhm ESR sets the ripple current ceiling — at 100 kHz, the self-heating from ripple current stays within the 125°C max if the RMS current is kept under ~1.1 A.

2917 case, Y code — footprint and height constraints

The 2917 (7343 Metric) case measures 7.30 mm x 4.30 mm with a seated height of 2.00 mm max. The Y size code is the standard 2.0 mm height variant in the TAJ family — it fits under a 2.5 mm board-to-shield gap with 0.5 mm clearance. Surface-mount reflow profile follows the standard tantalum profile: peak 260°C, ramp rate ≤3°C/s, soak above 217°C for 60-90 seconds.

Active production — no EOL notice on record

KYOCERA AVX lists the TAJY227K002RNJ as Active. No last-time-buy window or end-of-life notice has been published. Tantalum capacitor supply is sensitive to raw-material availability — lead times can stretch during allocation cycles.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ESR of TAJY227K002RNJ?

The equivalent series resistance is 300 mOhm at 100 kHz, typical. This ESR value determines the ripple current rating and self-heating — for a given ripple current, the power dissipation is I² × 0.3 Ω. Keep the RMS ripple current below ~1.1 A to stay within the 125°C max operating temperature.

Can TAJY227K002RNJ be replaced with a polymer capacitor?

A polymer capacitor in the same 2917 case will typically offer lower ESR (10-50 mOhm) but lower capacitance per voltage — a 220 µF polymer at 2.5 V is rare; most polymer caps at this case size are 100-150 µF. The trade-off is ripple current handling (polymer wins) vs bulk energy storage (tantalum wins). Pin-compatible in footprint, but the ESR difference may change the loop stability of the regulator.
