Excellent upgrade with a higher voltage rating in the same package; verify slightly higher ESR.
Finding a substitute for the AVX TAJD476K016RNJ 47µF 16V tantalum capacitor involves checking package, voltage, and ESR. Several alternatives from the same series exist, with TAJD476K025RNJ being a strong pin-compatible upgrade.
Some alternatives have the same footprint but are taller (E-Case) or have a different footprint entirely (C-Case).
ESR and capacitance values vary across candidates. Higher capacitance or ESR can impact circuit stability and performance.
The AVX TAJ series is widely available, with many options in the same family.
Yes, TAJD476K025RNJ is a strong candidate for direct replacement, featuring the same D-case package and a higher 25V rating. However, its slightly higher ESR of 900mΩ (vs 800mΩ) should be verified.
TAJD476K025RNJ is the best path, offering a higher voltage rating in the same package with only a minor ESR difference.
The main risks when substituting are mechanical fit (package height) and electrical parameter changes like ESR or capacitance, which can affect circuit performance.

Excellent upgrade with a higher voltage rating in the same package; verify slightly higher ESR.
| Feature / factor | TAJD476K016RNJ | TAJD476K025RNJ | TAJE476K035RNJ | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Voltage | 16V | 25V | 35V | 25V / 35V — Higher voltage provides more design margin.; TAJE476K035RNJ: Significantly higher voltage rating. | |
| Package | 7343 (2917) | 7343 (2917 Metric) | 7343 (E Case) | 7343 (2917 Metric) / 7343 (E Case) — Same D-Case package, ensuring form and fit.; TAJE476K035RNJ: Same footprint but taller package (4.1mm vs 2.9mm). | |
| Capacitance | 47µF | 47µF | 47µF | 47µF — Identical capacitance.; TAJE476K035RNJ: Identical capacitance. | |
| Esr | 800mΩ | 900mΩ | 900mΩ | 900mΩ — Slightly higher ESR, may impact ripple in power applications.; TAJE476K035RNJ: Slightly higher ESR. |
The best alternative to TAJD476K016RNJ is TAJD476K025RNJ. It offers a higher voltage rating (25V vs 16V) in the identical D-Case package, making it a robust upgrade. The only minor difference to check is a slightly higher ESR.
