298D476X06R3P2T

Tantalum capacitors are electronic components that have an electrical storage capacity and are used to store energy for use in a variety of electrical circuits. The 298D476X06R3P2T is one of the most common models of tantalum capacitor available on the market today. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the 298D476X06R3P2T.

What is a Tantalum Capacitor?

Tantalum capacitors are a special type of capacitor that are constructed from two plates of tantalum metal separated by a dielectric material. The metal plates are connected to two metal terminals that allow current to flow through the capacitor. Because of their high energy storage capacity, tantalum capacitors are used in a variety of electronic components and devices, such as circuit boards, power supplies, oscillators, and sensors.

Application Field of the 298D476X06R3P2T

The 298D476X06R3P2T is a high-stability device with low-ESR (equivalent series resistance) and relatively low ESR characteristics. This makes it particularly suitable for use in electronic components and devices that require high stability, including voltage regulation circuits, decoupling circuits, power supplies, oscillators, and sensors. Its low-ESR characteristics also make it suitable for use in low-frequency and low-duty cycle applications.

The 298D476X06R3P2T has a wide operating temperature range (from -55°C to +125°C) and can be used in high-temperature environments up to +150°C. Its high vibration and shock resistance make it suitable for use in hostile environments, such as industrial and automotive applications. It is also compliant with the RoHS environmental legislation and is lead-free.

Working Principle of the 298D476X06R3P2T

The 298D476X06R3P2T is an electrolytic capacitor, which means that it stores energy in an electric field created by the flow of current. This field is created by the flow of electrons between two metal plates (the anode and the cathode) that are separated by an electrolyte. The electrolyte acts as a dielectric material and prevents the flow of current between the two plates. When a voltage is applied across the two plates, a net charge builds up on the plates and an electric field is created that stores the energy.

When a current passes through the two plates, charges are drawn from one plate to the other and the electric field is weakened. This discharge process is reversed when the current stops flowing, and the layers of charge will re-establish themselves on the two plates. The magnitude of the electric field and the amount of energy stored in the capacitor depend on the capacitance of the device, which is determined by the size and shape of the plates, the dielectric material, and the distance between the two plates.

Conclusion

The 298D476X06R3P2T is a high-stability tantalum capacitor that is suitable for use in a variety of automotive, industrial, and consumer applications. Its wide operating temperature range and high vibration and shock resistance make it particularly suitable for use in hostile environments. Its working principle is that of an electrolytic capacitor, wherein charges are drawn from one plate to the other, generating an electric field that stores energy.
