173D337X0006YWE3

Tantalum capacitors are a form of capacitor manufactured using tantalum pentoxide and constructed in a “solid electrolyte” configuration. The primary advantages of tantalum capacitors over other capacitor types are their high electrical stability, robustness, and tiny size for the capacitance they offer. They are typically two-lead components, although they are also available in four-lead packages.

173D337X0006YWE3 application field and working principle

173D337X0006YWE3 is one of a type of polarized electrolytic capacitors with lower series ESR values, low inductance ratings and higher working voltages than standard tantalum capacitors. It is constructed from a sintered oxide anode, which is suspended in a liquid electrolyte in an iridium-oxide cathode. The anodes are constructed from a tightly packed and oriented oxide powder which is pressed and sintered into a solid dielectric body within the capacitor. This powder is dipped in an etchant solution in order to produce the desired shape and to increase its surface area. The anode and cathode materials are then connected with spiral wire leads which are silver-plated for conductivity.

In terms of its applications field, 173D337X0006YWE3 has traditionally been used in computing, automotive, medical, and industrial applications where capacitors of small size and high reliability are required. It can also be used in applications with high switching speeds and high frequency pulse circuits. The low ESR characteristics of this capacitor make it particularly suitable for use in high-current power applications, as well as in DC-DC converters and power supplies.

In terms of its working principle, 173D337X0006YWE3 utilizes the principles of dielectric polarization, capacitive charging and discharging, and electrostatic repulsion between dielectric material and an electric field within the capacitor. When a voltage is applied to the cathode and anode, electrons are attracted to the positive catalyst in the cathode, resulting in a charge on the capacitor\'s anode. These electrons then repel each other away from the surface of the anode, further raising the potential difference across the capacitor\'s plates and creating an electrostatic field. This electrostatic field creates an alternating current through the capacitor, allowing the capacitor to store a charge, which can then be discharged upon demand.

173D337X0006YWE3 is a highly reliable capacitor with a wide range of applications from computing to medical devices. Capacitors of this type are ideal for applications where small size, high stability, and high reliability are required. The low ESR and low inductance ratings also make it suitable for high current power applications such as DC-DC converters and power supplies. With its high working voltages, this capacitor is ideal for use in high frequency pulse circuits, further expanding its potential applications.
