Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are electronic components used to store and release electrical energy in circuits. They are comprised of two thin-film metallic layers separated by a dielectric material. The "footprint" or size of tantalum capacitors is much smaller in comparison to aluminum electrolytic capacitors, allowing manufacturers to create more powerful electronic circuits in a limited area.

173D476X0006X Application Field and Working Principle

The 173D476X0006X tantalum capacitor is a highly efficient electronic component commonly used in power, audio and automotive circuits. At its core, it consists of two layers of metal foil separated by a specialized dielectric material. The materials used must have a high dielectric material constant to achieve the desired performance targets. When voltage is applied, an electrostatic field is created within the capacitor, which allows it to store electrical energy needed by the circuit. The amount of electrical energy stored is determined by the capacitance rating of the capacitors.

The 173D476X0006X can store a maximum capacitance value of 475µF with a minimum value of 470µF. This high-voltage, surface-mount device has a rated voltage of 25V, lead-free terminals, and an operating temperature range of -55C to +125C. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as automotive electronics, audio amplifiers, signal conditioning circuits, medical devices, communications and military electronics.

In general, tantalum capacitors with higher capacitance value are ideal for applications that require higher voltage, such as car audio systems, whereas low-voltage applications, such as signal conditioning circuits, are better suited for smaller capacitors. Due to its low equivalent series resistance (ESR), the 173D476X0006X is often used in circuits that require high frequency and high voltage operation, traditionally found in audio, automotive and military applications.

In conclusion, the 173D476X0006X is an ideal choice for a wide range of high performance applications, due to its high capacitance value, high voltage rating and low ESR.
