T491S106K010AT

T491S106K010AT is a type of tantalum capacitor, a category of polarized capacitor typically found in electronics and electrical circuits. Tantalum capacitors are mainly used for two reasons: to stabilize or filter voltage and to prevent and reduce the effects of interference or noise from the surrounding environment.

The application fields of T491S106K010AT tantalum capacitors include telecommunication systems, military, medical, computing and consumer electronics, data processing, and aerospace applications. In addition, they are a preferred choice for smoothing and filtering signals, noise suppression, power management, energy storage, and vibration suppression.

T491S106K010AT tantalum capacitors have a wide range of practical applications due to their features. First of all, they are capable of handling high temperatures, making them suitable for components that require excellent temperature stability and vibration resistance. Furthermore, they have a low Internal ESR and therefore reduce ripple current and reduce voltage drop, maximizing output power and increasing device efficiency. Finally, they also possess high volumetric efficiency, meaning that they are able to store larger amounts of energy with a minimal amount of space.

T491S106K010AT capacitors operate, similarly to all capacitors, by using electrical energy to store, then release a charge. This occurs thanks to the ground and floating plates, with one containing active materials and the other a dielectric. When the circuit is working, positive charges will be stored on one plate and negative charges on the other, creating an electric field between the two. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, the electric field amplifies and the capacitor stores energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation.

Once the voltage is removed, the capacitor acts as a battery and releases the stored energy, which causes the current to flow to the internal parts of the device. This process ensures that the electronic devices receiving the capacitor’s energy remain stable, free of interference and noise, and running safely and efficiently.
