The T495X477K010ZTE045 is one such capacitor and is popular amongst engineers for its special characteristics and performance.

Application Field

The T495X477K010ZTE045 tantalum capacitor is a popular choice for board-level audio and RF applications, wherein its high capacitance and voltage tolerance make it a reliable choice. The chip-style outline of the device makes it a great choice for high density applications as well, such as in digital television receivers, router or cellular base station circuitry, and more. The high performance of the capacitor also makes it a great choice for use in power supplies wherein steady voltage delivery is essential, though its higher cost limits its usage in most commercial applications.

Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors are designed to store energy in a dielectric film deposited on a special substrate. This energy is customized to store charge for short amounts of time, commonly in the nanosecond to microsecond range. Depending upon the design of the capacitor, the energy stored can range from μF to mF (microfarads and millifarads).

The T495X477K010ZTE045 capacitor is a tantalum design that makes use of a solid tantalum anode, a manganese dioxide cathode, and an encapsulated electrolytic solution and dielectric material. The cathode and anode construction provides high performance characteristics, with a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and a very high capacitance per unit volume.

The capacitor is designed to be very reliable and tolerates highly variable voltages and temperatures. It also enjoys a very low leakage current when compared to other commercial capacitor designs, which is why it is such a key component in industrial applications and devices. The capacitor also enjoys extremely low ESR values, allowing for efficient power transfer to sensitive components.

Conclusion

The T495X477K010ZTE045 tantalum capacitor is a popular choice for industrial, commercial, military, and other high-performance applications. Its special construction and design allows for very high performance characteristics, which makes it a reliable and efficient choice when steady, high performance is essential. The capacitor can store high levels of energy without consuming too much power and is therefore very popular amongst engineers working with sensitive components.
