F950G157MSAAM1Q2 Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitor that use the oxide of the metal ta natalum as its dielectric material. They are often referred to as “tantalum caps”. They are particularly useful in high-density designs, where there is a need for a small “footprint” or size, and/or its very low temperature derating characteristics in large capacitance applications. The F950G157MSAAM1Q2 is one such type of capacitor.

In general, a tantalum capacitor consists of a sintered tantalum anode, an electrolyte, and a cathode. The anode is composed of a periodically arr anged two-dimensional structures of tantalum and functioning as a dielectric. This anode structure is covered by an electrolyte, consisting of an aqueous solution of various compounds, such as oxalic acid monohydrate, hydrofluoric acid and ammonium fluoride. A cathode consisting of a thin, finely divided layer is deposited on the anode.

The capacitance of the tantalum capacitor is determined mainly by the area of the Ta 2O5 powder compact, the thickness of the Ta 2O5 layer and the dielectric constant of the tantalum oxide. Depending on the specific application, there are different forms of tantalum capacitors. There are three main types of capacitors: wet tantalum capacitors (with solid or wet electrolyte); molded solid tantalum capacitors; and surface mount tantalum capacitors. The F950G157MSAAM1Q2 belongs to the last group of surface mount tantalum capacitors.

The F950G157MSAAM1Q2 is a surface mount, high-temperature, solid electrolytic capacitor. It is designed for use in medical, automotive, consumer and other applications requiring high-temperature performance, low ESR, and small size. It combines the benefits of high-temperature operation, with a low ESR, and a small size and is suited for applications requiring high performance in severe conditions.

The working principle of the F950G157MSAAM1Q2 capacitors is based on a simple electrical principle. When an electric current flows through a conductor and is then interrupted, a charge is held on the conductor, which is referred to as a capacitor. The F950G157MSAAM1Q2 is a type of moderate to high-voltage, large current, high-frequency, high-temperature, solid electrolytic capacitor. It is manufactured with a Ta anode, an activating solution that provides the electrolyte, and a sintered Ta cathode. The Ta anode is polarized and, once charged, forms a dielectric between the anode and the cathode. This dielectric, once charged, provides the capacitance.

The F950G157MSAAM1Q2 capacitor is designed for applications such as dc-dc converters, power supplies and other high-temperature applications. It has a capacitance range of 2.2µF to 470µF, an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and a rated voltage of 25Vdc to 100Vdc. It is particularly suitable for use in high-power, high-temperature, high-frequency applications where size, reliability, and long-term performance are essential.

In summary, F950G157MSAAM1Q2 is a type of high-temperature, solid electrolytic capacitor. It is designed for use in medical, automotive, consumer and other applications requiring high- temperature performance, low ESR, and small size. Its working principle is based on a simple electrical principle, where it holds a charge on the conductor once current is interrupted. It has a wide range of applications, including dc-dc converters, power supplies, and high-frequency, high-temperature applications.
