What this tantalum cap does on your board
The molded body gives consistent height and good mechanical stability for pick-and-place.
The 35 V rating gives headroom on a 12 V or 24 V bus — a 50 % derating rule-of-thumb still leaves you at 17.5 V, well above most common rails.
You can design it into a new product today without worrying about a sudden obsoletion.
