F951V155KAAAQ2 Datasheet/PDFTantalum Capacitors: F951V155KAAAQ2 Application Field and Working Principles
Tantalum capacitors are electrical components that utilize the combination of two metal plates and a dielectric material such as tantalum oxide to form a capacitor used in electronic equipment. The F951V155KAAAQ2 series of tantalum capacitors boasts a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +85°C, making it a popular choice for both automotive and industrial applications.
Tantalum capacitors are composed of two metal plates known as an anode and a cathode. The anode is partially composed of a tantalum powder and a manganese dioxide powder, which is packed together to form an anode material. The cathode is made of an alkaline electrolyte solution. The two plates are then separated by an oxide layer. This oxide layer serves as the dielectric material of the capacitor.
When a voltage is applied to the anode and cathode of a tantalum capacitor, a potential difference is created. This potential difference forces electrons to move from the anode to the cathode, which causes electric charge transfer, or conduction, between the two electrodes, thus generating electric current. The capacitor will store electric energy and discharge it when the voltage is suddenly increased or decreased.
The F951V155KAAAQ2 series of capacitors offer a variety of voltage and capacitance ratings, as well as non-polar (NP) and polar (P) configurations. This allows for the capacitor to be used in a variety of applications, such as high power switching circuits, power supplies, DC/DC converters, and motor drives. Furthermore, its ability to handle high temperatures make it suitable for automotive, power tools, and heavy equipment applications.
The F951V155KAAAQ2 series of capacitors are easy to source, affordable, and offer high reliability, making them a popular choice for applications requiring both high accuracy and dependability. This makes them an excellent option for those looking for cost-effective and reliable capacitors.
