The TAJY476M020RNJ is a molded tantalum capacitor from the TAJ series, rated 47 µF at 20 V with ±20% tolerance and 900 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz.
ESR and temperature — the real-world trade-off
The 900 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz means this part dissipates ripple current as heat — at 1 A ripple the self-heating is nearly 1 W, so derating the applied voltage to 50% of the 20 V rating is standard practice to stay within the thermal limits at the high end of the -55°C to 125°C range.
