150D406X5010B2B Datasheet/PDFTantalum capacitors are a type of electronic capacitor commonly used for filtering and energy storage. The 150D406X5010B2B is a tantalum capacitor specifically designed to meet the requirements of high reliability and temperature operation. It is used for various applications in the power supply or audio-video industry, such as DC-DC converters, display backlights, and memory backup.
Tantalum capacitors are a type of polarized capacitors, which means that they must be connected with the correct polarities in order to function properly. This particular tantalum capacitor has a maximum capacitance of 5.10 μF and rated voltage of 10Vdc. It is constructed with two leads, one connected to the anode of the capacitor and the other connected to the cathode. This polarized connection ensures that the capacitance is accurately maintained and that any leakage current is minimized.
The 150D406X5010B2B tantalum capacitor is designed to operate within a wide temperature range and is capable of withstanding temperatures up to +125°C. This makes it suitable for high-temperature environments such as in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications. The capacitor also has a high insulation resistance, which enables it to effectively store and filter power in high-frequency applications. Its high-temperature flexibility, lower power consumption, and long-term reliability make it an ideal solution for various types of electronic assemblies.
The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is based on the Faraday’s law of induction. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, the lead electrodes act as plates forming two electrical “shells”. The dielectric material between the plates forms the electrical “medium”, which stores electric charges. When a voltage is applied, electric current flows through the dielectric material and creates an electrical field, which stores electric charges and stores energy.
The 150D406X5010B2B tantalum capacitor is designed for use in environments where reliability and temperature stability are essential. It has a low leakage current, low ESR, high capacitance and long-term stability. This makes it an ideal choice for applications such as DC-DC converters, display backlights, and memory backup. By using this tantalum capacitor, users can ensure that their applications can operate reliably for extended periods of time.
