Additionally, it is used for high-frequency noise suppression in audio circuits, high-frequency signal generation, and in frequency conversion.

Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors are essentially two-terminal devices made up of two electrodes: one positive, and one negative. The physical structure of a tantalum capacitor is significantly different from traditional capacitors, as it does not rely on a thin dielectric layer to achieve a high capacitance. The capacitance instead is achieved through a thin highly porous sintered anode made of Ta2O5 (which is an oxide of Tantalum), and a solid electrolyte solution which serves as the cathode.

When a voltage is applied across the two electrodes of the tantalum capacitor, electrons pass through the porous anode and react with the cathode to form an ionic interface layer. This layer helps to store and release charge, effectively functioning as a dielectric and permitting it to act as a capacitor. Additionally, the porous anode and solid electrolyte combination increases the capacitance values of the device, allowing it to store more charge in a much smaller size.

The T322E106K050AT7200 tantalum capacitor is an example of a long-life, reliable device designed specifically for a wide variety of applications. While it does not contain a large amount of capacitance, it can provide precision, speed, and accuracy for many operations.
