Tantalum Capacitors

592D156X0016B2T15H Application Field and Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors are a type of capacitor made from tantalum, a chemical element with the atomic number of 73. They are usually available in the form of a metallic foil that is wrapped around a tantalum powder core and a variety of other components, including electrolyte and a protective coating. The tantalum powder core serves as the dielectric, meaning it can change its electric state in response to a charge applied across it. The other components also help to ensure the capacitor’s functionality.

Tantalum capacitors are considered non-polar capacitors in comparison to the more traditional capacitors such as ceramic, aluminum electrolytic and film capacitors which require two voltage polarities in order to function. This makes them particularly suitable for applications involving alternating frequencies or irregularly placed signals, as these are not susceptible to polarization effect.

The 592D156X0016B2T15H is a specific type of capacitor made by KEMET, and it is made of a tantalum capacitance element that is encased in a protective shell for superior durability. The capacitor is designed for high temperature applications and is also resistant to vibration, making it an ideal choice for automotive, aerospace and military applications.

The 592D156X0016B2T15H works in much the same way as other capacitors. When a voltage is applied across its terminals, the negative charge accumulates on one side of the capacitor while the positive charge accumulates on the other side. This creates an electric field which then stores an electric charge in the form of energy.

This stored energy can then be used at a later stage when the voltage across its terminals is reversed, allowing current to flow through the capacitor and into the load. This allows the capacitor to act as a temporary power source in pulse and timing applications.

The 592D156X0016B2T15H is rated for frequent working voltages of 6.3 and 10 Volts, and its capacitance tolerance range is between -20% and +80% so that it is not affected as much by temperature or voltage changes. The capacitor has a maximum capacitance of 270 µF and a maximum leakage current of 0.125 mA, making it a reliable option for applications that need a reliable source of power.

All in all, the 592D156X0016B2T15H is a high performance, reliable and cost-effective capacitor suitable for a wide range of applications that require high temperature performance, vibration resistance and reliable power supply. With its wide capacitance range and excellent tolerance, it is an ideal choice for both commercial and military applications.
