Tantalum capacitors, also known as tantalum electrolytic capacitors, are polarized capacitors with tantalum metal as the anode. They are miniature electrolytic capacitors featuring high capacitance-to-volume ratio, small size, and light weight. As opposed to other types of capacitors, tantalum capacitors require only one anode connection, making them especially suitable for densely-packed circuits.

Tantalum capacitors are available in two main types: wet (or conductive polymer) Tantalum and dry Tantalum. Wet Tantalum capacitors provide higher capacitance and come with electrode plates that are finely divided and having extremely narrow spacings combined with high-purity electrolyte. By contrast, dry Tantalum capacitors utilize solid manganese dioxide electrodes. Both types feature a very low ESR (equivalent series resistance) and low impedance, which make them especially suitable for high frequency electronic applications.

The 592D106X0025R2T15H Tantalum capacitor is a cylindrical, non-polarized capacitor with a 16Vdc rating. The 592D106X0025R2T15H’s nominal capacitance ranges from 0.22µF to 2.2µF, with capacitance tolerance of ±20%. It is temperature rated for a temperature range from -55°C to +125°C, and its equivalent series resistance (ESR) is 0.2 ohm maximum at 25°C.

The 592D106X0025R2T15H capacitor is used in various electronic applications, most common of which are filtering video signals, audio amplifiers, power supply filters and as a snubber in switching power supplies. It is also used in cellular phones, pagers, notebook and laptop computer systems and radios. Due to its small size, it is also commonly used in high-end audio equipment.

The 592D106X0025R2T15H is designed in such a way that its electrolyte evaporates at high frequencies, leaving a void in the capacitance. This phenomenon is known as the "corona effect". To prevent this, the capacitor has a dielectric strength voltage rating of 350V. This ensures that the capacitor will not experience dielectric breakdown at high frequencies and will not lose its capacitance.

The 592D106X0025R2T15H capacitor operates on the same basic principles as other capacitors. When a voltage is applied across the capacitor, it creates an electric field between two plates. This electric field creates a capacitance, or a measure of a capacitor’s ability to store electrical energy. This electrical energy is then stored until the voltage across the capacitor is removed, at which point the energy is released.

In summary, the 592D106X0025R2T15H is a miniature, non-polarized Tantalum capacitor with a 16Vdc rating and a temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. Its most common uses are in filtering and audio applications, and its small size makes it suitable for high-end audio equipment. The capacitor operates on the same principles as other capacitors, where electricity is stored when voltage is applied and then released when voltage is removed.
