150D155X0075B2T

Tantalum capacitors are classified as part of the electrolytic capacitor family; they are made from a ceramic or plastic material coated with a metal oxide layer. This technology allows them to have higher capacitance values within a smaller package size as compared to other electrolytic capacitors. The 150D155x0075B2T is a specific type of tantalum capacitor and is differentiated by its marking; the characters 150D refer to the nominal dimensions, followed by the voltage. In this case, the voltage is 55 V.

The 150D155x0075B2T tantalum capacitor is a polarised device with a unique polarity mark on its body to indicate proper orientation. It comes with a ringed negative terminal that is thermally connected to the capacitor body, while the positive terminal is formed by a protruding pin on the top. Also, it can have a marking of a white tab near the negative end, which is called the “insignia,” and it serves as a visual indicator of proper polarity. In terms of construction, this specific capacitor has a metallic-oxide coated with an outer can that is usually coated with a black or yellow-green insulating material. This capacitor is usually around 0.075 inches in diameter and has a maximum height of 0.155 inches.

The applications of the 150D155x0075B2T capacitor are vast. It is used in low-frequency filter circuits, pulsed power controllers, UPS systems, and AC line conditioning, as well as power supplies. In terms of working principle, it stores and releases energy in the form of an electrical field built up by the differential between the positive and negative surfaces. This differential results in an exchange of charge that is stored in the capacitor. To understand how this works, it is important to consider the voltage when a capacitor first receives a voltage. This is known as the initial effective voltage. As the capacitor continues to be charged, the charge builds up and the voltage across the capacitor increases.

At a certain point, when the capacitor’s surface area is fully charged and there is no voltage differential, the capacitor will reach its maximum voltage value. This is when the capacitor fully discharges. When the capacitor is discharged, the stored electrical energy is released as electrical current, and the peak of the current is known as the off-state voltage. As the capacitor’s voltage gets reduced by the off-state voltage, the stored electrical energy is converted back into a voltage difference, and the voltage will go back to its initial effective voltage.

The 150D155x0075B2T tantalum capacitor has the capability of storing a large amount of energy in a small package, making it an ideal component for applications where space is limited. It is highly reliable and has a wide range of operating temperatures, allowing it to operate in harsh environmental conditions. In addition, it is relatively easy to use and maintain, which makes it popular for a wide variety of applications.
