Introduction to Tantalum Capacitors

A tantalum capacitor is a type of electrolytic capacitor, a passive electrical component that uses the process of electro-chemical pre-treatment of conductive material to store an electric charge. The capacitance of a tantalum capacitor is more than an order of magnitude higher than that of an aluminum equivalent. Furthermore, a tantalum capacitor has a low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and is typically used in applications where stability, reliability and long-term performance are critical.

T495B475M025ATE1K0 Application Field and Working Principle

The T495B475M025ATE1K0 is a type of tantalum capacitor specifically designed for surface mounted applications. It is an enabling technology in the development of smaller, lighter and more efficient electronic devices and systems.

This type of tantalum capacitor has a special T-shape construction, which gives it its surface mount housing. The T495B475M025ATE1K0 uses a ceramic dielectric that acts as a filter between the capacitor and resistor. This ceramic dielectric reduces the ESR and leakage of the capacitor.

The T495B475M025ATE1K0 is used in a wide range of surface-mount applications, including automotive, consumer, computer and communications equipment, as well as for power supplementation and motor control. Its common applications include:

• Voltage regulation
• Decoupling
• Filtering
• Power supply ripple reduction
• DC bias

The T495B475M025ATE1K0 works on the same principle as any electrolytic capacitor. It works by storing an electric charge on its two metallic plates. The plates are separated by a dielectric material. When a current is applied, the easily deformed dielectric material acts to store charge on the plates. This in turn creates an electric field between the plates, thus allowing the capacitor to store electricity.
