Product Overview
TAJC106K016R is a solid tantalum SMD capacitor rated 10µF at 16V DC, housed in the 6032 metric C case (6.0mm × 3.2mm × 2.6mm). Polarized component with anode stripe; installs directly onto standard C-case PCB footprints. Stable capacitance over temperature makes it a dependable choice for decoupling and power rail filtering in compact board designs.
Key Features

Applications
- Repair tech replaces a shorted tantalum on a power supply board - this part matches the original 6032 footprint and 10µF/16V spec exactly, no board modification required
- Hardware prototyper assembles a custom PCB using KiCad or Altium with a standard C-case footprint, places the capacitor with tweezers, and reflows to secure the power rail filter
- Decoupling and bypass on DC rails in industrial control boards, embedded systems, and consumer electronics
- Maker building a compact analog or mixed-signal circuit who needs stable capacitance without the DC bias aging issues of high-value MLCCs
Frequently Asked Questions
What voltage rails is this part suited for?
Rated 16V DC maximum. Tantalum capacitors are sensitive to overvoltage spikes, and industry practice is to derate by 50% for reliability - making this part best suited for 8V or lower rails in most designs.
Is this a polarized component?
Yes. The anode is marked by a polarity stripe visible on each body. Install with correct orientation - reverse bias will cause catastrophic failure.
What is the ESR, and does it suit switching regulators?
ESR is 2.0Ω. This is a standard TAJ series value. High-frequency switching regulators that require ultra-low ESR may call for a low-ESR tantalum series or MLCC instead - confirm your regulator's ESR requirement before ordering.
Is this the same as TAJC106K016RNJ?
Yes. TAJC106K016R and TAJC106K016RNJ refer to the same part. The RNJ suffix is a packaging-code variant used by some distributors; the electrical specifications are identical.
A tantalum that has been sitting still is not a tantalum that has been sitting idle - the charge is patient, the job is waiting, and the footprint is already on your board.
