150D156X0020B2GE3

Tantalum capacitors are used in a wide range of applications, including automotive, consumer electronics, IT equipment, telecommunications, medical, aerospace, and military applications. The 150D156X0020B2GE3 is a two-pole surface mount tantalum capacitor, which is specifically designed for high-power, high-frequency, and high-temperature applications.

Tantalum capacitors offer some unique advantages over other types of capacitors, including excellent capacitance stability, operating temperature range, and high-energy density. They are also able to operate in a wide range of voltages and frequencies, and have low leakage levels.

The 150D156X0020B2GE3 is constructed with an anode made of tantalum and a cathode made of tin. This design allows it to operate at temperatures from -55°C to +105°C, while maintaining a constant capacitance value with less than 10% change in dielectric absorption over the temperature range.

The capacitance of the 150D156X0020B2GE3 is measured in picofarads (pF). The typical capacitance range is 0.015 μF to 22 μF, with a tolerance of +/-20%. The leakage current is rated from 1.2 μA at 2.5 V to 3.25 μA at 20 V.

The working principle of the 150D156X0020B2GE3 is based on the charge-discharge cycle of the capacitor. When a voltage is applied across the capacitor\'s terminals, the electric charge stored in the capacitor\'s dielectric material will increase. As the voltage increases, the charge stored in the dielectric increases, and the current flowing through the capacitor decreases. When the voltage is removed, the charge stored in the dielectric will slowly dissipate until the terminals are again at the same voltage.

To dissipate the stored energy, the capacitor must absorb energy from the circuit. This energy is then discharged back into the circuit as heat. In operation, the capacitor continuously switches back and forth between charging and discharging states, allowing it to store and discharge energy. This switching process, also known as capacitance, is the basis of the 150D156X0020B2GE3 capacitor\'s operation.

The 150D156X0020B2GE3 tantalum capacitor is an ideal choice for high-power and high-frequency applications, due to its high-temperature tolerance and low-leakage levels. Its low-inductance design allows it to handle higher voltage and frequency applications compared to other types of capacitors. Its wide capacitance range and excellent stability make it suitable for many different applications.
