Tantalum-polymer capacitors (T540B476K006DH8610WAFL) are a type of capacitor, incorporating a tantalum anode and a polymer cathode. The use of a polymer (also known as a polymer film) as the cathode is a key characteristic of this capacitor, as it provides numerous advantages over traditional aluminum electrolytic capacitors. This type of capacitor is used in several applications, ranging from consumer and computing electronics to medical and aerospace applications; and each application brings its own set of benefits.

Capacitors: Basics

Capacitors are electrical components that store charge between two electrically conductive plates, or electrodes. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, it stores energy as an electrical field between the two plates. When the voltage is removed, the stored energy is released as a current.

The traditional construction of a capacitor includes two electrodes insulated by some form of dielectric material. An ideal capacitor should exhibit a large capacitance, low leakage current and an excellent temperature stability. Unfortunately, traditional capacitors also offer disadvantages such as large tolerance variations, high-voltage breakdown and a short lifetime.

Tantalum-Polymer Capacitors

Tantalum-polymer capacitors are a type of capacitor that offers numerous advantages over traditional capacitors. The use of a conductive polymer as the cathode allows for greater capacitance without increasing capacitance due to the high surface area of the cathode. This type of capacitor is also intrinsically conformable (the material can be molded into different shapes easily), offers a lower ESR than traditional capacitors, and is less prone to wear and corrosion.

Tantalum-polymer capacitors are further broken down into two distinct types; organic tantalum-polymer capacitors and metallized tantalum-polymer capacitors. An organic tantalum-polymer capacitor is composed of a dielectric tantalum pentoxide film on the anode combined with a conductive polymer film on the cathode. This type of capacitor offers a low ESR, a high capacitance, and excellent tolerance of change in temperature, voltage, and humidity.

Metallized tantalum-polymer capacitors are constructed differently, with a tantalum anode wire and an insulating polymer film as the cathode. They offer increased flexibility, as they can be manufactured in very small and highly flexible form factors. This type of capacitor also offers very low ESR and ripple current, improved stability and reliability, and a much longer service life than traditional capacitors.

Application Field and Working Principle

T540B476K006DH8610WAFL capacitors are used in applications such as consumer and computing electronics, medical applications, and aerospace applications. In consumer and computing electronics, these capacitors are used for power management, energy storage solutions, and audio and video application. In medical applications, they are often used in medical diagnostic, monitoring, and motor control systems. In aerospace applications, they are widely used in motors, aircraft systems and aeronautic devices.

The working principle of a tantalum-polymer capacitor is based on the electrochemical behavior of the material. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, an electrical field forms between the two plates, which causes electrons to flow from the anode to the cathode. When the voltage is removed, the charge stored in the built-up electrical field is quickly released as a current, which can be used to power the device or system.

Tantalum-polymer capacitors offer many advantages over traditional capacitors, including increased capacitance, lower ESR, improved stability and reliability, and extended service life. These capacitors are commonly used in many applications and offer great performance and durability.
