By utilizing tantalum capacitors, engineers and technicians can build devices with higher performance, better reliability, and lower power consumption than those that use conventional ceramic capacitors. In addition, they are extremely versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications.

Application Fields

T496D226K025ATE800 capacitors are widely used in telecommunications, consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace, and military applications. These capacitors are ideal for high frequency operations and can be used in filters, oscillators, rectifiers, and transceivers. They are also used in medical equipment and instrumentation, microwave ovens, robots, and for powering embedded systems.

Tantalum capacitors are also used in high temperature environments. These capacitors can withstand temperatures up to 125°C and have a high tolerance for mechanical shock and vibration. This makes them ideal for use in harsh environments, such as engine compartments, electrical circuits near motors, and in extreme altitude applications.

Tantalum capacitors have also been used in oil and gas exploration applications. These capacitors offer a long lifetime, even in high pressure and temperature environments. They are also able to withstand harsh chemicals and are very resistant to corrosion.

Working Principle

T496D226K025ATE800 capacitors work by accumulating and storing an electrostatic charge. This charge is held in its dielectric, or insulating material, which is usually tantalum oxide.

The capacitor is connected to two conductive plates via terminals, while the dielectric acts as the separation layer between them. When an external electric field is applied to the capacitor, the electric field exerts a force onto the electrons of the capacitor, sending them from the negative plate to the positive plate. This accumulates a charge on each plate, thus storing potential energy.

When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, either positive or negative, the electric field causes electrons to flow through the capacitor, allowing electric current to pass. This allows the capacitor to act as an energy storage device, allowing energy to be stored and released when needed.

The amount of energy stored in the capacitor depends on its size and capacity. Capacitances are expressed in Farads, where one Farad is equal to one coulomb of charge per volt. This can be expressed as 1 Farad = 1 Coulomb/Volt.

In addition, capacitors can also work as filters or regulators. By increasing or decreasing the amount of charge stored in a capacitor, engineers can change the filter frequency or regulate the output voltage.
