F930J157MBAAJ6 Capacitors

Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are specialized electronic components, often found in consumer electronic devices, such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and gaming consoles, because of the distinct advantages they provide. They are characterized by their high capacitance and relatively low cost, enabling them to be used in a broader range of consumer electronics than more expensive and complex capacitors.

Tantalum capacitors use a dielectric material made from Tantalum oxide, and two electrodes. The oxide is incredibly thin, allowing for a high capacitance-to-volume ratio. They are made to various ratings, and come in sizes ranging from tiny packages (.2mm) all the way up to 76mm in length. Many consumer electronics require equipment to miniaturize and protect components to the greatest degree, and Tantalum capacitors are well-suited for this purpose.

F930J157MBAAJ6 application field and working principle

The F930J157MBAAJ6 is a polymeric tantalum capacitor which is available in an S-type package, or a surface-mountable pad. This type of tantalum capacitor is relatively small and versatile, and is mainly used in the manufacture of consumer electronic items such as TVs, game consoles, and smartphones. The F930J157MBAAJ6 is a polarised capacitor, which means that it must be connected correctly to the circuit in order for it to function correctly. It will also require a certain voltage rating to be operational.

The F930J157MBAAJ6 has a working principle based around the ‘dielectric effect’, which is where a nonconductive material such as a capacitor, will not allow electric charges to pass through. Instead, the electric charge is stored within the dielectric material, and the capacitance offers a degree of control over the flow of current. By varying the characteristics of the dielectric material, the capacitance can be adjusted.

As far as the F930J157MBAAJ6 is concerned, the tantalum oxide dielectric is responsible for the high capacitance-to-volume ratio. Initially, the oxide layer is very thin which is what enables the capacitor to have a high capacitance in such a small package. However, over time, and depending on the voltage that is supplied to it, the oxide layer can become thicker.

Once the oxide layer becomes thick enough, the capacitance will drop off dramatically and the F930J157MBAAJ6 can become permanently damaged. This is why it is important to ensure the correct voltage is supplied to the capacitor in order to avoid any potential damage. In addition, the temperature range of the device must also be adhered to.

In most consumer electronic applications where the F930J157MBAAJ6 is used, it is mainly employed for its low cost, as well as its low profile and good performance. As it is a polarised capacitor, it will typically require some kind of stabiliser circuit, such as a resistor-capacitor network, to ensure that the current is correctly regulated. This will help to prolong the life of the capacitor and improve reliability.
