20TQC47MYF Capacitors

Tantalum - Polymer Capacitors are an important type of capacitor used in a wide variety of applications. The 20TQC47MYF is a thin film, non-electrolytic, area array tantalum capacitor manufactured by KEMET Electronics. This capacitor is a snap-in mounted device which features two layers of sintered tantalum powder placed between two polymer layers with conductive and adhesive properties. The 20TQC47MYF capacitance ranges from 1 to 47μF and is ideal for use in a variety of commercial and industrial systems.

Application Fields

The 20TQC47MYF is primarily used in energy storage applications and switching circuits. It is often found in board-level power conditioning, microcontrollers and computer bus systems, as well as telecommunications equipment. Additionally, due to its thin profile, the 20TQC47MYF can provide cost effective solutions for small low power applications, such as card readers, digital audio and video devices, portable electronics, and wearable electronics.

Working Principle

The 20TQC47MYF Capacitor works by storing electrical energy in the form of an electric field between two electrodes which are separated by an insulative plastic dielectric. An electrical charge is applied to the capacitor, which causes electrons to build up on one of the electrodes and be repelled by the other. Thiscreates an electric field between the two electrodes. When a circuit needs a sudden influx of voltage, such as when switching on, the capacitor is able to provide this current by releasing it stored energy back into the circuit.

Summary

The 20TQC47MYF Capacitor is a tantalum-polymer capacitor manufactured by KEMET Electronics which is used primarily in energy storage applications and switching circuits. It is admired for its thin profile, reducing the amount of space required for installation, as well as its cost effectiveness for small low power applications. The capacitor works by storing electrical energy in the form of an electric field between two electrodes which are separated by an insulative plastic dielectric.
