Tantalum Capacitors

The 150D406X0010B2BE3 is a type of tantalum capacitor, and is considered amongst the best of its kind. A tantalum capacitor is an electronic part consisting of a pellet of tantalum metal as an anode with an oxide layer as its dielectric, in a small ceramic or plastic case with two electrical connections. Devices of this type are useful due to their small size, high capacitance per unit volume, and high stability over time.

Application Field

The 150D406X0010B2BE3 is most commonly used in oscillators, filters, and signal processing circuits. Its high stability and small size make it an ideal candidate for applications where long-term accuracy is important and where space is at a premium—such as portable electronics like smartphones, handheld digital cameras, and GPS units. It can also be advantageous in longer or permanant applications such as medical equipment, automotive computers, or electromechanical systems.

Working Principle

The 150D406X0010B2BE3 is a type of electrolytic capacitor, meaning it stores energy via an electric charge. It consists of two metal plates separated by a dielectric material with a thin oxide film on the cathode which allows a current to flow between the plates. This current creates a potential difference between the two plates, allowing them to store electric energy much like a battery. This creates an electric field between the plates, resulting in the capacitance of the capacitor. This capacitance can be adjusted by adding layers of oxide to the cathode, changing the amount of charge stored and the potential difference between the two plates.

Conclusion

The 150D406X0010B2BE3 is one of the most accurate, reliable, and efficient types of capacitors available and can be used in a wide variety of applications, from signal processing to medical equipment. Its small size, high stability, and large capacitance make it an ideal choice for portable and permanent electronics.
