893D686X96R3D2TE3

Tantalum capacitors are formed from a tantalum metal oxide anode and a conductive cathode. The 893D686X96R3D2TE3 is a surface-mounted tantalum capacitor featuring a miniature, thin-footprint, and a high-frequency design. This device is ideal for mounting on densely populated boards for robust snapshot and high-speed switching applications.

Application field

The 893D686X96R3D2TE3 surface-mount tantalum capacitor is widely used across many AV broadcast, consumer electronics, wireless communication, automotive, and military/aerospace markets. It is suitable for tight packaging requirements due to its thin footprint shape. It also suits harsh environment applications, as it is highly resilient to vibration and temperature extremes.

This device is particularly suited to mobile device broadcast systems; it offers a reliable power supply to the vast array of power-intensive circuits and audio/video components present in these systems. In addition, its performance in wireless spectrum filters, RF receivers, power supplies, and high-speed switching circuits is excellent, providing top-notch signal-to-noise ratio performance.

Working principle

The working principle of the 893D686X96R3D2TE3 exposed tantalum capacitor is based on the Faraday principle of capacitance, which states that two conductive plates of different materials and sizes placed close to each other, separated by an insulating layer, can store electric charge. The material of choice for the plates in the 893D686X96R3D2TE3 is tantalum, a heavy metal which offers exceptional stability, and a higher dielectric density than alternative material options, resulting in higher energy storage capabilities.

The two plates of the 893D686X96R3D2TE3 are separated by a thin mil thick oxide layer, in which the capacitance is variable based on the applied voltage. This layer can be tuned for particular applications, providing high-frequency performance and excellent resilience to temperature extremes. As with all capacitors, the 893D686X96R3D2TE3 is subject to capacitance reduction with frequency, which limits its use in high frequency or high temperature applications.

In general, the 893D686X96R3D2TE3 surface-mounted tantalum capacitor offers excellent signal-to-noise performance and is suitable for a range of power-intensive applications, including AV broadcast and consumer electronics, wireless communications, automotive, and military/aerospace applications.
