Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are commonly used for portable consumer electronics, such as mobile phones, notebook PCs, cameras, and digital music players. These capacitors are also used for automotive applications, such as engine controllers, electronic transmission shifting, and airbag deployment. The 150D565X0050R2BE3 is a hybrid migration aluminum/tantalum chip capacitor.

Application Field & Working Principle

The 150D565X0050R2BE3 is a frequently used type of tantalum capacitor for many applications of portable consumer electronics. This capacitor combines the rugged, low profile, and small size of good quality aluminum with the high capacitance density of a premium quality tantalum. This type of capacitor offers an extremely low profile with a minimum component height of 1.2mm, making it ideal for application assembly processes that require minimum component heights to achieve high component density. They also have a very low self-resonant frequency, low ESR and long life operation, all of which makes them ideal for low voltage applications.

Tantalum capacitors work on the same principle as any other capacitor, with two opposing metal plates (anode and cathode) separated by a wide variety of dielectric materials. In general, when a voltage is applied across the plates, the resulting electric field causes a charge to be stored on the plates. The amount of charge that can be stored in a capacitor is proportional to the size of the capacitor.

In the case of the 150D565X0050R2BE3 capacitor, the anode and cathode are separated by a titanium-based polymer film (also referred to as tantalum-polymer dielectric) as the dielectric material. This also means that this capacitor can store a larger amount of charge than other capacitors due to its higher capacitance density. The operating temperature range of this capacitor is -55°C to +125°C (up to 85°C for automotive applications).

When compared to an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, the 150D565X0050R2BE3 tantalum capacitor also has a significantly lower ESR, a much greater tolerance for ripple currents, and a much longer life span. These factors make this tantalum capacitor an ideal choice for low voltage consumer electronics applications. Additionally, its small size, low profile, and excellent temperature characteristics make it an excellent choice for automotive applications.

As a conclusion, the 150D565X0050R2BE3 tantalum capacitor is a high quality capacitor designed for portable consumer electronics and automotive applications. Its low profile, small size, and excellent temperature characteristics make it an excellent choice for those applications. Its high capacitance density and low ESR make it an excellent choice for low voltage applications, while its excellent tolerance for ripple currents and long life make it a great choice for automotive applications.
