Tantalum Capacitors

The 199D224X9035AXV1E3 is a type of tantalum capacitor. A tantalum capacitor is an electrolytic type capacitor that uses tantalum as its anode material, thus offering longer life and higher capacitance than aluminum electrolytic capacitors. It is generally used in applications that demand increased capacitance, greater efficiency, and stability.

Working Principle

A tantalum capacitor consists of two electrodes—an anode and a cathode—separated by an electrolyte, typically an organic solvent or manganese dioxide. The capacitor stores an electrical charge between the two electrodes. When a voltage potential is applied at a given rate, an electric current flows between the electrodes and deposits a thin, uniform layer of oxide over the anode. The oxide layer acts as a dielectric material, allowing the capacitor to store electricity. This process is called polarization, as the oxide layer, or dielectric, is polarized between the two. As the capacitor’s voltage increases, so does the thickness of the dielectric layer, adding more charge-storing capacity to the capacitor.

Applications

The 199D224X9035AXV1E3 is a surface-mount tantalum capacitor. It is most commonly used in high-frequency circuits, such as RF transmitters and receivers. It is also used in switching power supplies, as well as in circuits where low leakage current, low noise, and high stability are important. It is also often used in resonant circuits, such as filters, so as to reduce harmonic distortion and improve the power factor. Additionally, it can be used in audio and video circuits, as well as in oscillators and phase-locked loop circuits.
