F971D106MCC Capacitors

Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are type of electrolytic capacitor which are characterized by their exceptional stability, reliability and superior operational qualities. Due to their stability, they are commonly used in a wide variety of electronic products in the military, medical and industrial industries, as well as in consumer electronics. At the heart of the tantalum capacitor is a sintered anode and cathode (or plates) with an electrolyte that acts as an insulator and dielectric.

The F971D106MCC is a tantalum capacitor manufactured by AVX. It is an Advanced Tangerine™ capacitor which has an internal ESR of less than 1 mΩ and allows for high-drain applications. It is designed for a wide range of applications and has a rated capacitance of 10.0 μF, with a DC working voltage of 10 V and a temperature range of –55°C to +100°C.

The main application field of F971D106MCC is in DC to DC converters and voltage regulators, as well as computer circuits and power amplifiers. It is suitable for circuits with high ripple currents, such as boost converters and synchronous buck converters, where pulses of current are supplied to the capacitor, in order to store the energy and smooth out the power output.

In terms of working principle, the F971D106MCC capacitor acts in a similar manner to an ordinary electrolytic capacitor. It consists of two metal plates, the anode and cathode, which are separated by an electrolyte that serves as a dielectric. The principle of energy storing is based on the physical properties of the electrolyte, which is able to store electric charge between the plates. When a charge is applied to the capacitor, the electrolyte is charged and the voltage between the plates increases. When the capacitor reaches its rated voltage, the charge on the plates is equal and opposite, ensuring that energy is stored in the electrolyte.

The F971D106MCC capacitor is designed to ensure a long life of up to 10,000 to 20,000 hours at +25°C, and up to 3,000 to 6,000 hours at +85°C. The electrolyte ensures that the capacitor is highly resistant to changes in temperature, vibration and shock, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including high frequency pulses, AC and DC motors, as well as automotive power systems.

In summary, the F971D106MCC tantalum capacitor offering by AVX is a high-performance device which is suitable for a variety of applications, including DC to DC converters, voltage regulators, computer circuits and power amplifiers. Its features of stability, reliability and superior operational qualities, as well as its long life, ensure that it is a reliable source of energy storage for various applications.
