TPCR106K010R1800 Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are one of the most versatile and widely used passive electronic components in the industry. First developed in the early 1960’s, these versatile components are now integral components in modern electronic systems and a variety of consumer electronics. TPCR106K010R1800 is one of the most popular models of Tantalum Capacitors currently available.

Application Field

TPCR106K010R1800 capacitors are most often used in high-frequency, high-temperature applications due to their low ESR and high frequency response. These capacitors are particularly popular for their exceptionally reliable performance in power supplies and circuits subject to high ripple current. Their small size and minimized lead space make them great for applications with limited space; such as portable devices like notebook PCs, digital cameras and MP3 players. Another common application for these capacitors is medical devices, where their high-frequency, high-temperature, low-ESR characteristics make them ideal for applications needing a dependable component for in-body electronics.

Working Principle

The TPCR106K010R1800’s construction uses a tantalum wire with a manganese dioxide layer attached to its surface as the dielectric material. During the manufacturing process, the dielectric material is formed onto the wire using a high temperature sintering process. This process causes a thin “oxide” layer to be created on the surface, possessing an insulating property that creates a stable capacitance that is relatively immune to temperature variation.

When connected to a power supply, electricity flows through the capacitor in the same way it flows through other resistive components. The resistance of the capacitor is determined by the thickness of the oxide layer. A thicker oxide layer will result in a lower resistance and therefore higher capacitance. Conversely, a thinner oxide layer will result in a higher resistance and lower capacitance.

The TPCR106K010R1800 also has a low impedance at high frequencies, which makes it suitable for handling high-frequency switching, such as in CPUs and DSPs. This capacitor is also capable of withstanding high voltage spikes, ensuring reliable operation even when exposed to high-frequency power supply transients.

The TPCR106K010R1800 is an ideal component for a variety of high-frequency and high-temperature applications. Its small size and reliable performance make it the perfect choice for portable electronic devices and medical implants.
