T491A336K004AT Capacitors

Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are highly reliable, small-sized capacitors, making them a popular choice for most electronics. The T491A336K004AT is no exception—it is a highly reliable form of capacitors with a high capacitance of 330μF and a low ESR of 0.13 ohms. It operates in temperatures as high as 85°C and has a max voltage of 10Vdc. The design also ensures much higher thermal and electrical stability than other types of capacitors.

Application Field

The T491A336K004AT has been widely used in many electronics due to its technical specifications. Common applications for this type of capacitors are power management circuits, clock/timing circuits, bypass circuits, as well as memory backup and noise reduction circuits. The wide capacitance of 330μF and its low ESR of 0.13 ohms make it a great choice for high-current applications, as well as Decoupling, Bypassing, and Reverse Polarity Protection.

Working Principle

The operation of Tantalum capacitors is based on the electrostatic storage of electrical energy. It works like a simple battery and conducts current through two terminals of different polarity. When a voltage source is connected, the current flows from the negative terminal to the positive terminal. The potential difference between the two terminals produces an electrostatic field which stores electrical energy.

The T491A336K004AT is a polarized capacitor, meaning that it has a built-in mechanism to ensure that the polarity of the terminals is always maintained. When connected, the negative end should be connected to the negative voltage supply, and the positive end should be connected to the positive voltage supply. Incorrect connection can result in catastrophic failures of the device.

The T491A336K004AT has a voltage rating of 10Vdc and a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C. It is an electrolytic capacitor and has an electrolyte inside the casing which, combined with the anode and cathode plates, separated by a dielectric material, stores the energy upon the application of voltage. As the electrons move between the plates they generate a current, which is proportional to the applied voltage.

Tantalum capacitors are considered to be a standard due to their high capacitance, low ESR, and long shelf life. The T491A336K004AT is a reliable capacitor and is widely used in many electronics due to its technical specifications. High quality and long-term reliability are ensured for many different circuits.
