Tantalum Capacitors

173D475X0015VE3 tantalum capacitors are small and efficient components capable of storing electrical charge. They are a type of capacitor that uses tantalum for its anode material, and although they are small and weak in comparison to other capacitors, they are capable of storing large amounts of energy. The capacitance ratings of 173D475X0015VE3 tantalums range from 0.1 uF to 0.47 uF. It is essential to note that 173D475X0015VE3 tantalums are polarized meaning they must be installed with the correct polarity or they can become damaged upon powering up.

These capacitors have the following features: a Capacity of 15Volts, Ess RMS, Insertion Loss of about 0.0005dB, and an ESL of about 0.003 ohms.

Application Field

The 173D475X0015VE3 tantalum capacitors are used in a range of applications, including high frequency DC bridging and ripple rejection applications, such as AC-DC power supplies and switched power supplies. They are used in conjunction with audio systems, analog and digital circuit boards, solid-state drives, automotive, industrial and medical applications. It is also important to note that the 173D475X0015VE3 tantalum capacitors are often employed as output capacitors in high-voltage DC-DC converters, providing improved power efficiency and low current ripple.

Working Principle

The basic principle of operation of these capacitors is that as an electric current is passed through the anode, an electrolytic layer of metal oxide forms around the anode terminal. As a result, the electrolyte forms a dielectric layer, which is capable of storing a charge for a period of time. This dielectric layer is charged and discharged as a result of the current applied to the anode.

The Tantalum Capacitors also have the ability to withstand high voltages, which allows them to be used in a variety of applications where large amounts of current are being transferred. This makes them ideal in applications such as DC power supplies and AC-DC converters.

The advantage of these capacitors is that they possess a long life span, with many of them lasting up to 10 years. Their price is also very reasonable when compared to some other types of capacitors.

Conclusion

In conclusion, 173D475X0015VE3 tantalum capacitors are highly efficient components used in a wide range of applications, from AC-DC converters and DC power supplies to audio systems and automotive applications. They possess excellent charging and discharging capability, and have a long life span, making them extremely suitable for long-term applications. Furthermore, their price is also very competitive when compared to other types of capacitors.
