Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors also referred to as tantalum electrolytic capacitors, are widely utilized in a broad range of electronic devices and systems due to their high energy efficiency and reliable performance. These components are SMD (surface-mount device) capacitors that have both anode and cathode terminals mounted onto the connection surface of the same package. For this reason, they are characterized by a higher packing density as compared to other capacitors in the market. This is one of the reasons why they are frequently used in sensitive electronic applications, such as power and control systems in the automotive, military, and aerospace sectors.

The capacitance of tantalum capacitors is expressed in microfarads (µF). Typically spread across a range of values from 1µF to 1000µF, there are low-voltage, medium-voltage, and high-voltage versions of these capacitors available, depending on the type of application the device will be used for. As for the case of the 592D106X0010B2W15H tantalum capacitor, it is considered to be a medium-voltage component, with a maximum working voltage of 16V.

The 592D106X0010B2W15H capacitor belongs is a non-polarized device, meaning that its electrolyte is not electrically charged which allows for different assembly techniques. It is a surface-mount monolithic capacitor with a maximum capacitance of 10µF, a maximum ripple current of 3.1 A, a temperature coefficient of + 85 ppm/°C, and an ESR of 25 mΩ. It is part of the 592B range, set to suit severe environmental conditions, making it suitable for operation in challenging and harsh environments, such as automotive, industrial, military, and aerospace applications, and it is also known for its outstanding endurance capability in extreme temperatures.

The 592D106X0010B2W15H capacitor uses a liquid anode system inside its package, hence its working principle is based on electric double-layer build-up. This means that the capacitor’s anode and cathode create an electric double layer, i.e. a charge is stored between the anode and cathode with pairs of negative and positive ions which then separate in order to form two isotropic layers.

Tantalum capacitors are very reliable and versatile components for energy storage and are featured in almost all electronic consumer products and commercial applicatios. Thus, the 592D106X0010B2W15H capacitor is a highly reliable component for a wide range of applications, particularly in the automotive, military, and aerospace sectors.
