Tantalum capacitors, often referred to as tantalum electrolytic capacitors, are a type of polarised capacitor that are used in a variety of applications where the need for high-capacitance, low-leakage, and long-term reliability is present. They are particularly popular in the military and medical electronics industries, but are also widely used in consumer electronics, industrial and automotive applications. The part number T491D226M016AT24787280 refers to a tantalum capacitor.

Background On Tantalum Capacitors

A capacitor is a type of electronic component used to store electrical energy and maintain voltage and current levels. A capacitor is a passive device, meaning it does not require a power source to operate and usually consists of two plates separated by an insulating material. If a voltage is applied across these plates, they will become charged and store electrical energy until the voltage is removed, allowing the capacitor to discharge. There are several different types of capacitors and tantalum capacitors have some advantages over some of the other types that make them particularly well suited to certain applications.

Tantalum capacitors are made of a tantalum metal plate, covered with a porous tantalum oxide layer, and a cathode of powdered form. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, the oxides create the insulator between the plates and the electron flow is inhibited. This allows the capacitor to store electrical energy.

T491D226M016AT24787280 Application Field and Working Principle

T491D226M016AT24787280 is a tantalum capacitor with a capacitance of 22 uF and a voltage of 16V. It is designed to be used in most common voltage and power profiles and is suitable for applications requiring a wide range of temperatures. The working principle of the tantalum capacitor is the same as that of other types of capacitors; when a voltage is applied to the plates of the capacitor, they become charged and the capacitor stores electrical energy until the voltage is removed, allowing it to discharge.

T491D226M016AT24787280 is ideal for use in military, medical and consumer electronics, industrial, and automotive applications as it offers excellent performance characteristics. Its high capacitance and low leakage current, coupled with its long-term reliability, make it an ideal solution for applications where these features are essential.

T491D226M016AT24787280 is also suitable for use in other applications such as pulsed energy storage and audio circuits. Its high capacitance, low leakage current and long-term reliability make it ideal for these applications. In addition, the fact that it is a polarised capacitor means that the capacitor can be used in applications where a non-polarised component is more suitable.

Conclusion

In conclusion, T491D226M016AT24787280 is an ideal component for use in a variety of applications, including military and medical electronics, consumer electronics, industrial and automotive. Its high capacitance, low leakage current and long-term reliability make it an excellent choice for applications requiring these features. Additionally, its polarised design makes it suitable for use in more specialised applications such as pulsed energy storage and audio circuits.
