Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are capacitors that use tantalum as the anode, such as the 195D105X0015C4T capacitor. Tantalum capacitors offer excellent stability, reliability, and low leakage currents. They are widely used in the automotive, aerospace, medical, industrial, and telecom markets.

Application Field

Tantalum capacitors are particularly advantageous for applications where a compact size and low cost are desired. They are well-suited for pulse-loading, especially in communications, imaging, medical, and automotive applications. They can also be used in power supplies or solar energy conversion systems. Additionally, they are suitable for high-temperature, high-voltage, and decoupling applications.

The 195D105X0015C4T capacitor is a leaded, molded, solid type construction of a tantalum capacitor with a standard EIA size code. It has an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, a voltage rating of 15V, a capacitance value of 0.1µF, a high-frequency and a ripple current rating of 24A. It is ideal for primary and secondary decoupling applications. This capacitor offers superior performance for both conventional and surface mount applications.

Working Principle

A tantalum capacitor works by storing an electric charge on an electrolytic material. As electric current passes through the anode and cathode, the electrolyte material becomes charged up with electrons, and this electricity is stored in the capacitor. In terms of the 195D105X0015C4T capacitor, the anode\'s material is composed of tantalum and the cathode consists of an indication of a conducting material such as manganese dioxide, nickel, silver, or graphite.

The surface of the anode is exposed to an electrolytic solution, causing an electrochemical reaction. This reaction forms a layer of electrons on the anode\'s surface. The cathode is composed of a conducting material, which attracts both positive and negative charges. This creates a electrical field between the anode and cathode which charges up and stores the electricity in the capacitor. The size of the capacitor is dependent on the amount of surface area of the anode, cathode, and electrolyte.

The 195D105X0015C4T capacitor is engineered for strong capacitive performance in a wide range of applications. Its lead construction makes it ideal for reflow soldering and traditional through-hole soldering, and its low ESR and high ripple current performance make it suitable for high-frequency, high voltage, and decoupling applications.
