Tantalum capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are an important type of electronic component used in various products and applications. They are often used as a “smoothing” or “filtering” device to stabilize electrical circuitry. This type of capacitor is widely used in mobile phones, laptops, and other portable devices, as well as many durable goods and military/aerospace applications.

173D475X0006UE3 application field and working principle

The 173D475X0006UE3 is a low-profile, surface-mount tantalum capacitor with an extreme temperature range (-65°C to +150°C) which makes it perfect for applications where high temperature operation is required. It is also used for applications where large capacitance is needed in a small size. It is available in values of 0.047μF, 0.1μF, 0.22μF, 0.47μF, 1μF, 2.7μF, and more.

The 173D475X0006UE3 works with a dielectric composed of MnO2-layered tantalum in a hermetically sealed metal case. The dielectric consists of a high-permittivity matrix of Ta2O5 and MnO2. This structure makes the capacitor one of the smallest available in these sizes. When a voltage drop is applied across the capacitor, an electric field is created, causing the dielectric material to become polarized and store energy. The polarization continues until the capacitor is completely charged. When the voltage is removed, the capacitor will discharge until the voltage is no longer present.

The efficiency of the 173D475X0006UE3 is largely determined by the quality of the dielectric. It has a low ESR, good temperature characteristics, and excellent load life characteristics. The capacitor also has a high energy density, making it an ideal choice for applications that require minimal space and less weight.

The 173D475X0006UE3 is used in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, medical applications, and industrial control applications. It can also be used in telecommunication applications, such as base stations and RF amplifiers. The capacitor is used as a filtering element in these applications, to provide better power regulation and reduce noise interference. The capacitor can also be used to bypass radio-frequency (RF) signals, reducing interference and providing better signal clarity.

The 173D475X0006UE3 is an extremely reliable and well-built tantalum capacitor. Despite its small size, it offers excellent performance with high energy density and a long life. It is also very temperature-resistant, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
