A strong upgrade with a higher 20V rating and lower 500mΩ ESR, likely in the same D-case package.
Find recommended substitutes and cross-references for the AVX TAJD107K016RNJ tantalum capacitor. Review pin-compatible upgrades and functional alternatives to manage sourcing challenges.
Many alternatives are in different case sizes (C-case, E-case) and will not fit the D-case footprint.
Most candidates have equal or better ratings, but check tolerance and ESR carefully.
Yes, TAJD107K020RNJ is a potential pin-compatible upgrade for TAJD107K016RNJ, offering a higher voltage rating (20V vs 16V) and lower ESR. Package verification is recommended.
The best replacement path is TAJD107K020RNJ, an upgrade with a higher voltage rating in the same package.
The main risk when substituting is using a part with a different package size or a lower voltage rating.

A strong upgrade with a higher 20V rating and lower 500mΩ ESR, likely in the same D-case package.
| Feature / factor | TAJD107K016RNJ | TAJD107K020RNJ | TAJE107M025RNJ | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | D Case (7343) | D Case (7343) | E Case (7343) | D Case (7343) / E Case (7343) — Part number and case code indicate a match, but datasheet verification is required.; TAJE107M025RNJ: E-case is taller than D-case, check board clearance. | |
| Voltage | 16V | 20V | 25V | 20V / 25V — Higher voltage rating provides increased design margin.; TAJE107M025RNJ: Higher voltage rating provides increased margin. | |
| Capacitance | 100µF | 100µF | - | 100µF — matched | |
| Tolerance | 10% | 10% | 20% | 10% / 20% — matched; TAJE107M025RNJ: Wider tolerance may not be suitable for precision circuits. | |
| Esr | 600mΩ | 500mΩ | 300mΩ | 500mΩ / 300mΩ — Lower ESR is generally beneficial for filtering applications.; TAJE107M025RNJ: Lower ESR is an improvement. |
TAJD107K020RNJ is the best alternative, offering an upgrade to 20V in the same D-case package with improved ESR. It is a strong candidate for a drop-in replacement after verification.
