Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about C16RTA22 and tantalum capacitors
What applications use a 22µF 16V tantalum capacitor?
This 22µF 16V tantalum capacitor serves filtering, timing, and energy storage functions in circuits operating within its voltage and temperature ratings.
What capacitors can replace the C16RTA22?
Cross-referencing the C16RTA22 requires matching capacitance (22µF), voltage (16V), temperature rating (N/A), and physical dimensions. ESR and ripple current ratings must also meet or exceed the original spec for reliable operation. Contact our technical team at 800-731-1433 for verified cross-reference options — we maintain compatibility data across major manufacturers.
Should I derate the voltage when using the C16RTA22?
Yes. Industry best practice is to operate capacitors at 60–80% of their rated voltage. For the C16RTA22 rated at 16V, this means designing your circuit to keep the applied voltage below 13V under all conditions including transients. Voltage derating significantly extends capacitor life — each 10% reduction in applied voltage can roughly double the expected service life for electrolytic types.
What is the lead time for the C16RTA22?
In-stock items ship same-day when ordered before 3 PM EST, with standard delivery of 2–5 business days within the continental US. If the C16RTA22 shows as out of stock, our sourcing team can typically locate tantalum capacitors within 1–2 weeks through our manufacturer and distributor network. Contact us for expedited options or large-quantity pricing.
