Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are small, cylindrical electronic components that are part of an electric circuit. They are the most common type of electrolytic capacitor and are important components in many types of electronic assemblies.

Tantalum capacitors are made of a tantalum oxide, which is a conductive metal oxide. The capacitor\'s body is also made of a conductive material and then dipped in an electrolyte solution. When the capacitor is connected to an electric circuit, electrons travel through the conductive metal oxide, creating a capacitance effect. This effect allows the capacitor to store and release electrical energy as it\'s needed.

The 135D686X9006C6 is a type of tantalum capacitor. This specific capacitor has a voltage rating of 50 volts and a capacitance of 10,000 μF (microfarads). It is a surface-mount, radial-lead capacitor, meaning it is designed to be mounted on a board, and the two leads are arranged in a radial pattern.

Application Field

Tantalum capacitors are widely used in a variety of electronic applications, ranging from consumer devices to medical equipment. They are particularly useful for applications that require a low profile component since they are usually much smaller and thinner than other types of capacitors. In addition, they typically have high capacitance and a low leakage current. This makes them well-suited for applications that require long-term energy storage.

One of the most common applications of the 135D686X9006C6 tantalum capacitor is in power supplies. This particular capacitor is often used to store large amounts of energy over short periods of time. This helps to reduce the amount of power drawn from the input and allows for smooth output operation. Tantalum capacitors are also often used to filter out electronic noise in a circuit.

Working Principle

When a voltage is applied to the two leads of the 135D686X9006C6 capacitor, a charge builds up on both plates of the capacitor, due to the electric field that is generated between them. The size of the charge stored is determined by the number of electrons on the plates, as well as the size of the plate\'s surface area.

Charging and discharging of the capacitor then occurs in a cycle. As the voltage increases, more charge builds up on the plates until the maximum charge the capacitor can hold is reached. At this point, the resistor in the circuit will start to absorb some of the charge so the capacitor can start to discharge.

The amount of energy stored in a tantalum capacitor depends on two main factors: capacitance and voltage. The capacitance of a capacitor determines how much charge it can store and the voltage rating determines the maximum voltage the device can withstand before it is damaged. Generally, the larger the capacitance and voltage, the more energy a capacitor can store.

Tantalum capacitors are invaluable electronic components due to their compact size and ability to store charge for short periods of time. The 135D686X9006C6 is a popular surface-mount capacitor with a high capacitance and a low leakage current, making it a suitable choice for many power supply and noise filtering applications.
