Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are primarily used for electrical storage and consist of two electrodes, the anode and the cathode, separated by an insulator. They are very versatile and are utilized in a wide range of applications due to their great characteristics; from low leakage current, low cost, low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and low self-discharge rate.

T498B106K016ATE2K8 is a type of tantalum capacitor used in many different applications. They are mostly used in applications which require the combination of power, high temperature, and high reliability. This type of tantalum capacitor is made with a sintered anode, solid electrolyte and a metallized foil as the cathode.

They are designed to handle high temperatures with excellent reliability and can maintain a longer operational life.

Working Principle

In order to understand its working principle, it\'s important to first have a general understanding of how capacitors work. A capacitor is a device that stores electric charge or energy, and can be made of several different types of materials. It consists of two electrical conductors separated by a dielectric (or insulating) material. When a voltage is applied across the two conductors, an electric field is created, and charges start building up on the conductors until the field is canceled out. This charge buildup is what gives a capacitor its capacity to store electric energy.

T498B106K016ATE2K8 behaves like most other tantalum capacitors; charging and discharging take place through the electrodes, and energy storage is achieved via the insulating material. This capacitor utilizes a sintered, porous anode which is formed from powdered tantalum. The metallized foil that forms the cathode, is connected to the center pin of the capacitor. The solid electrolyte of the capacitor is contained between the anode and cathode, and helps provide electrical connection between the two. This type of capacitor is usually encased in a molded body, which protects it from physical damage and electrostatic discharge.

Tantalum capacitors are considered to be one of the most reliable, efficient and cost-effective capacitors available. They are designed to handle high temperatures and other environmental conditions, making them ideal for use in a variety of applications. The T498B106K016ATE2K8 is a highly reliable, low-cost solution for current surges in high temperature and high voltage applications.
