Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are composed of tantalum (Ta) metal powder and a solid or liquid electrolyte. It has low cost, small size, light weight, corrosion resistant, and excellent stability. Thus, it is widely applied in various fields.

173D565X0025WWE3 capacitors belong to tantalum capacitors. This capacitor features 5.6μF ±20% 25V DC. Its radial lead with solid electrolyte is suitable for general but stable use. It allows rapid charging and discharging time, making it suitable for applications with frequent changes in current.

Applications

• 173D565X0025WWE3 is widely used to filter ripple currents of various circuits by smoothing voltage.
• It can be applied in very low-frequency applications such as low-power audio filters.
• It is also used in power supplies and batteries, to ensure the output of DC filtered to a certain clarity.
• In the computer system, this capacitor works to avoid data errors.
• It is also used as a bypass capacitor for supplying current to the integrated circuit.

Working Principle

When the voltage is applied to the terminals of a tantalum capacitor, electrons from the negative electrode flow through an electrolyte to the positive electrode and this action is usually described as charging. The electrolyte resistance is so high that very little current flow after the capacitor is fully charged.The storing charge remains on the plates until the voltage is removed and the capacitor can be discharged and charged again.

Tantalum is a very good electrical and heat conductor that reduces power loss in the capacitor. That\'s why it\'s popularly used as a low-voltage filter capacitor.
