Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors, also referred to as tantalum electrolytic capacitors, are capacitors that use a tantalum metal for an anode. Its main advantages are a wide operating range, small size, and long life. It is used in consumer, military and aerospace applications, and is available in standard form factors or in customizable configurations.

150D825X0075R2TE3 Application Field and Working Principle

The 150D825X0075R2TE3 is a polarized electrolytic capacitor with a working voltage of 25V DC. It is a surface-mount device that is compatible with J-lead solder processes. Specifically, it is a high-temperature version used for commercial and military applications.

The two main elements that form the capacitor are the anode and cathode, which are typically made of metal. The anode has a porous layer on the surface which stores the dielectric and electrolyte. The electrolyte will be affected by the applied voltage, and a charge will be created. The electric field created by the applied voltage between the anode and cathode causes a charge to build up on the dielectric layer, resulting in a capacitance value being produced. This value will vary based on the thickness and type of dielectric used.

For the 150D825X0075R2TE3 specifically, the anode is made of a high-purity tantalum powder shaped into a pellet. The anode then has a dielectric layer that is applied to it and a manganese dioxide - based electrolyte is then applied. The cathode is usually made of aluminum with a special layer of conductive polymer applied to it. This allows the capacitor to have a higher capacitance rating compared to other types of capacitors.

Tantalum capacitors such as the 150D825X0075R2TE3 are used in a variety of applications, including power management, broadcast equipment, signal conditioning, and audio equipment. For these purposes, tantalum capacitors are superior to other types of capacitors because they are able to withstand higher temperatures and are more efficient. The wide range of capacitance ratings and voltage ratings make them a versatile choice for any application.

In summary, the 150D825X0075R2TE3 is a tantalum capacitor with a 25V working voltage. It is a polarized electrolytic capacitor with a high purity tantalum anode and an aluminum cathode. The dielectric is a manganese dioxide-based electrolyte with a special layer of conductive polymer on the cathode. This capacitor is used in applications such as power management, broadcast equipment, signal conditioning, and audio equipment, as it has a wide range of capacitance ratings and can resist high temperatures.
