ST470-30T2KI

The ST470-30T2KI is one tantalum capacitor that has found wide application in many fields. The device has a long-life span along with high-temperature tolerance, making it an ideal choice for use in systems that require dependable power source and durable performance. This product is also prized for its strong output and ability to store electrical energy, allowing it to meet many power supply needs.

Tantalum capacitors are unique devices that store electrical energy and act as a charge pump to provide bursts of power when needed. They feature a dielectric layer of tantalum oxide, which serves as the barrier between two opposed plates of tantalum. The plates in the capacitor are made of tantalum and are configured slightly differently than in other types of capacitors, which allows the device to provide higher capacitance values than traditional capacitors.

The ST470-30T2KI occupies a volume of 0.47 cubic inches and features a rated capacitance of 47 µF at an operating voltage of 10 volts. It is a surface mount chip type of capacitor, with a rated capacitance tolerance of +/- 20%. It is resistant to voltage short-circuits and is designed to operate in a temperature range of -55 to +150 °C. The device also has an endurance rating of up to 2000 times when tested at a temperature of +125 °C.

The ST470-30T2KI has found wide application in many commercial and industrial areas such as computer systems, communications equipment, radar systems, and automotive industry. Its use allows for the design of power supplies with higher tolerances as it is robust and resistant to most environmental impacts. The device is also used in many high-performance industrial devices, such as magnetic heads, printed circuit boards, and even in aerospace systems where its ability to provide large amounts of energy in a very short duration is of an benefit.

The way the ST470-30T2KI works is quite straightforward. When a voltage is applied across the two plates, the dielectric layer of tantalum oxide has a size that varies with the applied voltage. This variation leads to the capacitance of the device increasing or decreasing, depending on the voltage applied. The variation allows this capacitor to store electrical energy and reduce voltage drops across a circuit, as well as providing frequency dependent feedback as needed.

In conclusion, the ST470-30T2KI is one of the most widely used tantalum capacitors available on the market. Its versatility and reliability has earned it wide application in many settings, from industrial uses to high-voltage systems. Its ability to store electrical energy and provide bursts of power make it an attractive solution for many power needs. Its working principle is based on the size variation of its dielectric layer of tantalum oxide, which allows it to function as a charge pump and provide the required electrical energy.
