Tantalum Capacitors

A 150D184X9035A2TE3 capacitor is an electrical component that, generally speaking, falls within the category of tantalum capacitors. A capacitor is a device that stores electric charge and can be used in applications where energy needs to be stored. In this article, we shall discuss the application fields and operating principles associated with a 150D184X9035A2TE3 tantalum capacitor.

Application Fields

Tantalum capacitors, and by extension the 150D184X9035A2TE3 capacitor, find use in a plethora of different consumer, military and industrial applications. Tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitor, so they are used in situations where a more significant amount of energy needs to be stored. Common uses include in power supplies in computers, digital cameras and televisions. They are also used in various electrical circuits, medical equipment and in space exploration.

The 150D184X9035A2TE3 capacitor specifically is, due to its low ESR (equivalent series resistance), ideal for supporting low-frequency digital circuits. Furthermore, because of their low inductance, these capacitors can also be used in some high frequency circuit applications.

Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors work on essentially the same principle as other electrolytic capacitors, though due to their design, they are able to store more charge and have a significantly lower equivalent series resistance (ESR). A capacitor stores energy in the form of an electric field, which is generated by the capacitors two electrically conductive plates. Each plate is coated in a dielectric substance and an electrolyte solution is used to connect the two plates. This electrolyte solution is generally comprised of a salt dissolved in water, though modern capacitors have moved towards more sophisticated organic electrolytes.

The 150D184X9035A2TE3 capacitor uses an anodized tantalum core as the dielectric that separates the two plates, and manganese dioxide as the electrolyte solution. This combination of materials means that the capacitors have a very high capacitance and a very low ESR. Furthermore, the robust materials used in the construction of these devices make them both durable and long-lasting.

Conclusion

The 150D184X9035A2TE3 capacitor is a type of tantalum capacitor, and is used in a variety of consumer, industrial and military applications. Tantalum capacitors differ from other capacitors in their construction, and due to the materials used in their manufacture, are able to store more energy and have a lower ESR. In summary, the 150D184X9035A2TE3 capacitor is a versatile component with a wide range of uses, and is ideal for use in low-frequency digital circuits, as well as some high-frequency applications.
