Overview of Tantalum - Polymer Capacitors

Tantalum - Polymer capacitors are a type of capacitor with a dielectric that consists of an organic anion containing polymer film. These capacitors are seeing increasing use in a diverse range of fields including aerospace, automotive, industrial and medical electronics applications.

The T540D227K006AH8505WAFL is a chip capacitor of this type, specifically designed for low profile, extended capacitance and low leakage applications. It has a solid tantalum body with a polymer dielectric and 2625V rated voltage. It is typically used as a bypass capacitor in board level circuitry for desktop motherboards, hard drives and other applications requiring low ESR and capacitance.

Working Principle

Tantalum - Polymer capacitors work on the same principle as traditional electrolytic capacitors, just with a different dielectric material. Essentially, electrons attracted to a particular plate of the capacitor will form a layer of electrical charge that stores energy. When a current is passed through the capacitor, the charge is unstable and breaks down, releasing its energy in energy form.

The T540D227K006AH8505WAFL capacitor is designed to provide higher capacitance in a smaller size than traditional electrolytic capacitors. This is due to the use of a solid tantalum body and a polymer dielectric. The polymer dielectric is able to store more charge than a conventional capacitor because it is able to make use of the rapid capacitor charging capabilities of the tantalum body.

The T540D227K006AH8505WAFL has low ESR, which helps to reduce power dissipation and increase efficiency. Its 2625V rating helps the device to withstand higher voltages and is therefore suitable for use in a variety of different applications.
