594D187X0010D2T Capacitors

Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are an electronic component used to store energy, as part of an electrical circuit. They are small capacitors that range in size from a few picofarads to several hundred mF. Tantalum capacitors are constructed from two electrodes separated by a thin tantalum oxide dielectric layer, usually assembled with an electrolytic solution to function with reduced reactance and impedance. This construction makes them ideal for high-frequency and high-frequency applications. They have good temperature stability, and are capable of storing energy for a relatively long time without degrading their electrical run-time performance.

594D187X0010D2T Application Field and Working Principle

The 594D187X0010D2T is a tantalum capacitor manufactured by AVX Corporation. It is a unipolar, non-polarized design which does not require a polarization voltage. It has a wide temperature range, from -55ºC up to 125ºC, which makes it suitable for usage in industrial and automotive applications. Its capacitance range is from 10µF to 1000µF at 10V, and its rated maximum operating frequency is 50kHz. The 594D187X0010D2T is a medium-sized capacitor with a low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) which makes it suitable for use in high capacitance and high voltage applications.

The working principle of the 594D187X0010D2T is essentially the same as for any capacitor, where it stores energy in the form of an electrostatic field between two parallel conducting plates. This is achieved via the dielectric (insulator) between the two plates, which can either be composed of tantalum oxide or other materials, such as polymers or polyethylenes. The two plates of the 594D187X0010D2T are held together by a binder and are separated by an oxide layer, which acts as an insulator. It is this layer that allows the capacitor to store energy in the form of an electric field.

The 594D187X0010D2T can be used in a variety of applications, such as energy storage in power supplies, frequency modulation, and radio transmitters. Its low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) makes it suitable for high capacitance and high voltage applications. This high capacitance makes it an ideal choice for ripple reduction and filtering in switched-mode power supplies.

The 594D187X0010D2T has a wide temperature range and is suitable for use in industrial and automotive applications. It is also a unipolar, non-polarized design, meaning it can be used in AC applications without the need for additional circuitry. This makes it a great choice for use in applications that require high capacitance, such as power supplies and frequency modulation.
