Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are electrochemical capacitors, also known as a supercapacitor, which utilize a tantalum anode and an electrolytic cathode. The tantalum oxide capacitor is a high-capacity, low-impedance type that offers a large capacitance-to-volume ratio in small, lightweight package sizes.

199D107X06R3D7B1 Application Field and Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors, particularly the 199D107X06R3D7B1 series, are used in a wide variety of electronic applications. The tantalum capacitor has found widespread use in computer hardware, medical electronics, automotive electronics, telecom equipment, and in consumer electronics.

The construction of the 199D107X06R3D7B1 series consists of a tantalum anode that is pressed into granular, sintered tantalum powder. This anode is subjected to an electrochemical process that deposits a Ta2O5 insulative layer over the entire surface. On top of the Ta2O5 layer, a cathode is then applied, often made of manganese dioxide.

The construction of the capacitor must be conductive to make a dielectric barrier between anode and cathode. This is many times in the form of an aluminum electrode welded to the case of the capacitor. This creates a low-impedance element that is an ideal energy source and storage device.

The tantalum capacitors have some distinct advantages when compared to other capacitors. These include a very high capacitance-to-volume ratio, a very wide operating temperature range, and very low equivalent series resistance. The tantalum capacitor also requires very little power to charge and discharge, making it the ideal energy source for many applications.

In operation, the capacitor works in an opposing manner to the simple electrolytic capacitor. In a simple electrical circuit, current will only flow one way if the difference in potential between two nodes is greater than some certain threshold. With the tantalum capacitor, current will flow in both forward and reverse directions. The current will alternate between the anode and cathode, dictated by the nature of the circuit. This alternating current is then amplified with each cycle and stored in the capacitor. This alternating current can then be used as a source for powering many electronic applications.

In conclusion, the 199D107X06R3D7B1 series of capacitors are highly durable and reliable components that are able to fulfill a wide variety of tasks in different application fields. Their unique construction, combined with their low resistance and large capacitance-to-volume ratio makes them an ideal choice in a variety of applications.
