T491B106K006ZTAC00 – Power and Applications of Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors have been in existence since the 1950s and continue to be used in a multitude of applications. This particular capacitor is a T491B106K006ZTAC00, a radial, low profile device designed for miniaturization enabling it to fit into microminiaturized components, such as miniaturized circuit boards. It is constructed with two components, a dielectric layer, usually composed of tantalum pentoxide (Ta 2 O 5 ), and electrodes that are usually composed of tantalum or an alloy of tantalum with other metals. Designed to provide an electrical storage capacity, the combination of its dielectric material and electrodes make it a superior capacitor in comparison to other varieties, offering a broad frequency range, low ESR, low cost design, and substantial capacitance in a very small form factor.

The T491B106K006ZTAC00 is a non-polarized, axial leaded, radial-leaded, heat-sensitive-seal-type tantalum capacitor. This combination of features makes it especially suitable for high-pressure and space-constrained applications. It offers a voltage rating of 10V and a capacitance of 6uF, making it a great choice for low voltage power supply applications, such as memory back-up, cell phone powering and water sensors.

Similar to other types of capacitors, the T491B106K006ZTAC00 works by storing an electrical charge in the form of an electric field. This electric field is created between two conductive plates separated by an insulating material, in this case, tantalum pentoxide. As current is allowed to pass through this capacitor, electricity is attracted to one of the conductive plates and repelled from the other. This creates a separation of electric charge that can be used as a source of energy. When the amount of charge held by the capacitor reaches its maximum, the capacitor is said to be “full”, and it can no longer accept more charge.

The same basic principle also applies to other capacitor types such as ceramic, electrolytic, and aluminum electrolytic. However, the characteristics of tantalum make it a hands-down winner when it comes to high-pressure and space-constrained applications. Tantalum capacitors are renowned for their long-life, good temperature stability, and their ability to handle high-voltage surges. It also performs better than many other capacitor types in terms of its ability to handle ripple current. Additionally, its small form factor and low cost make it an ideal choice for applications where space or cost are a constraint.

The T491B106K006ZTAC00\'s versatile construction and other characteristic features make it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications. Examples of these include:

• Computers & Automation: Tantalum capacitors are often preferred for providing clean energy in computers and other automated systems where voltage regulation is essential.
• Back-up Systems: Its ability to handle high-voltage surges makes it an ideal choice for providing power backup should a power failure occur.
• High-Frequency Devices: Its small form factor and low ESR make it well-suited for use in high frequency devices, such as cell phones.
• Inductors: A combination of T491B106K006ZTAC00 capacitor with an inductor can be used to produce a signal filter in applications such as telephone systems or radio receivers.
• Robotics: A single T491B106K006ZTAC00 capacitor can provide a signal processor with the necessary voltage to power its robotic actuators.
• Medical Equipment: Many medical devices, such as pacemakers, depend on accurate voltage regulation. The T491B106K006ZTAC00 provides a stable, high-temperature resistant, low-cost solution.

The T491B106K006ZTAC00 is a versatile and reliable capacitor that has been chosen by engineers around the world for its exceptional features. Its small form factor and low cost make it ideal for use in high-pressure and space-constrained applications, whereas its high voltage handling capabilities make it a suitable choice for back-up systems and inductors. The tantalum material used in its construction lends it excellent temperature stability, making it a reliable option for medical equipment and other high-voltage applications. With so many features, the T491B106K006ZTAC00 is truly a capacitor extraordinary.
