Tantalum capacitors are one of the most widely used components for storing electrical energy in a variety of electronic applications, such as power supplies and portable electronics. The specific type of capacitor discussed in this article is the 173D106X0020WW, which is a polarised tantalum capacitor. This article will explain both its application field and its working principle.

Being a type of polarised capacitor, the 173D106X0020WW is primarily used in power supplies, ranging from low-power applications such as home electronics to high-power applications such as DC-DC converters. This is because the capacitor offers a combination of high capacitance, low ESR and low leakage current, as well as being capable of handling large ripple currents. This makes it ideal for use in DC power sources where it can be used to smooth out the input voltage and provide additional current when needed.

In terms of its working principle, tantalum capacitors are remarkably simple. The 173D106X0020WW is essentially made up of two components - a tantalum pellet and an anode. The pellet is a porous material, typically composed of metal oxide, which essentially acts as a sponge for storing energy. This is then wrapped in an anode which acts as a shield, preventing any current from passing through the pellet and allowing only an electrical charge to pass. When an electrical charge is applied, it causes an electrostatic effect, which causes the pellet to absorb the charge. This charge is then stored in the capacitor and can be used to provide electrical power to a circuit when required.

In summary, the 173D106X0020WW is a tantalum capacitor primarily used in power supplies due to its ability to handle high voltages and large ripple currents. It works on a simple principle of storing an electrical charge within a porous pellet, which is then shielded by an anode. This charge can then be used to provide electrical power to a circuit when required. As such, the 173D106X0020WW is a reliable and versatile component, which can be used in a wide range of applications.
