Introduction to Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors, also known as tantalum electrolytic capacitors, are reliable, efficient, and advanced components that are used to store electrical energy and release it as needed in many devices and electronics. The principles then combine a sintered tantalum anode with an organic manganese dioxide electrolyte. While other capacitors are in the form of ceramic, paper, and plastic, tantalum capacitors stand out for their superior performance and versatility.

TPCR336M010R1500 Application Field and Working Principle

The TPCR336M010R1500 is a non-polar, solid tantalum capacitor and is very often used as a voltage reference in circuits. Its capacitance per million is 33µF, while its total capacitance is 10µF with an operating voltage rating of 15V. With a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, the TPCR336M010R1500 is designed with an integrated tantalum anode, making it very small and easy to install into a wide variety of circuits.

Tantalum capacitors use the principle of charging and discharging of energy in order to operate. As with other capacitors, electrostatic energy is stored in a dielectric material when a voltage is applied across the terminals. The stored energy can then be discharged when the current flows in the opposite direction. Tantalum capacitors have an advantage over other capacitors due to their high dielectric constant, making them ideal for storing larger amounts of electrical energy.

In the TPCR336M010R1500, the external lead has an anode that’s made from tantalum and the internal lead is a manganese dioxide electrode, both combined using an organic electrolyte. Once a voltage is applied, the anode ionizes the electrolyte and begins to store electrical energy in the form of electrostatic charge. The energy is stored between the two electrodes and the organic electrolyte acts as a dielectric material. The capacitor then gradually releases its stored energy once the current starts to flow in the opposite direction, generating a voltage across its terminals.

Conclusion

The TPCR336M010R1500 serves as a helpful and reliable tool for a variety of engineering and electronic applications. The solid tantalum capacitor works effectively and efficiently to store and release electric energy as it is needed. It is for this reason that tantalum capacitors, including the TPCR336M010R1500, remain a popular choice for many engineers, researchers, and technicians.
