F931D106MBA Capacitors

The F931D106MBA, tantalum capacitor, is a type of electrolytic capacitor that uses a tantalum powder and a ceramic to form the anode, encased in a small cylindrical metal can. It is used in numerous electronic applications, from providing energy storage to back up power supply to filtering. Its small size makes the F931D106MBA ideal for working in confined spaces.

Tantalum capacitors feature long shelf life, low leakage current over long periods, low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and reasonable pricing. Due to this, the F931D106MBA is ideal for use in high-reliability and long-term applications. It is most commonly used as a bypass capacitor in high-frequency applications, or as decoupling capacitors for low-frequency applications.

The F931D106MBA has a capacitance rating of 1.0µF and can operate at a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The operating voltage of the tantalum capacitor is rated at a maximum of 6.3V, which is generally lower than many other types of capacitors available on the market. The majority of F931D106MBA capacitors will come with a waterproof epoxy coating applied to the outer surface of the component, providing additional protection from general wear or environmental elements.

The working principles of F931D106MBA are quite simple and are based on traditional principles. At its core, the F931D106MBA consists of two plates, one plate is formed from tantalum and the second plate is made of ceramic, separated by an electrolyte. An electric potential is applied across the capacitor when using an external voltage source.

The electrolyte, which serves as a dielectric, functions to store an electrical charge within the capacitor. This charge is determined by the capacitance rating of the component, which is defined as the ratio of the electric charge and the applied voltage. The capacitance rating of the F931D106MBA is 1.0µF, which provides excellent energy storage capabilities for various applications.

Due to the high capacitance rating and low leakage current, the F931D106MBA is an ideal choice for energy storage applications, such as decoupling and bypass capacitor applications. The low ESR rating also makes the F931D106MBA suitable for high-solder-reflow applications.
