173D334X9050VW Datasheet/PDFTantalum Capacitors
The 173D334X9050VW is a type of tantalum capacitor that is used for a wide range of applications due to its relatively large size, high density, low ESR (equivalent series resistance), and wide range of temperature ranges and voltages. This type of capacitor is widely used in power management and analog applications.
Unlike aluminum and ceramic capacitors, tantalum capacitors are able to store and release more energy in a given voltage range. This makes them ideal for high-power applications, such as voltage regulation and power conditioning. As with other capacitor types, they can also be used for filtering, decoupling, and transient control.
Application Field
The 173D334X9050VW is designed for high-frequency signal filtering, noise and surge suppression, and power conditioning. It is suitable for high-current, low-impedance applications, as well as high-frequency oscillations, such as radio frequency (RF) circuits.
Furthermore, this type of capacitor is ideal for applications such as automotive electronics, consumer electronics, medical devices, and telecommunications equipment, due to its low ESR and high energy storage capacity.
Working Principle
The 173D334X9050VW works on the principles of electrostatic charge: charge is stored on one side of the capacitor (the anode) and the other side of the capacitor (the cathode) is connected to the system ground. By applying a voltage to the anode and cathode, the capacitor will store the charge and then release it when the voltage is removed.
It is also important to note that tantalum capacitors are polarized, meaning that one of the terminals (the anode) must be at a higher voltage than the other (the cathode) in order for the capacitor to function correctly. Failure to connect the terminals correctly can result in permanent damage.
The capacitance of the 173D334X9050VW is approximately 3.5µF, with a rated voltage of 50V. This capability makes it suitable for a wide range of digital and analog applications, as well as acts as a filter to reduce voltage spikes and noise.
