Tantalum capacitors, or also known as tantalum – polymer capacitors, are a type of electronic components that work on the principles of electrolytic capacitors and are used to store electrical energy. The term “tantalum-polymer capacitor” covers a range of components that have a capacitor dielectric made from some polymer, mostly polymeric organic materials such as polypropylene, polyester and polycarbonate, and filled with tantalum pentoxide. The range of these tantalum capacitors (T) is designated as T550B256K100BH0100.

The application field of the T550B256K100BH0100 consist mainly of cellphones, notebooks, PDAs, tablets, netbooks, ultrabooks and other such gadgets and devices. This is due to the device’s versatile voltage and capacitance values, which make it suitable for a range of applications including voltage decoupling and filtering, biasing, power supplies and DC-DC converters, and wave shaping or RC (resist-capacitor) networks.

The high capacitance value in combination with the relatively small footprint makes it extremely useful in several applications that often require high-density components. Some of the most popular applications of the T550B256K100BH0100 are as bypass capacitors, sample and hold capacitors, as well as coulometric capacitors.

To understand the working principle of a tantalum-polymer capacitor, one must first understand the way in which it stores electricity. At the heart of each device lies a unique material known as "tantalum pentoxide". This material is able to store an electric charge efficiently, due to its unique dielectric properties. This charge is stored between the two electrodes, which are connected via a conductive layer made from the tantalum pentoxide material.

When an electric charge is stored, a negative charge builds up on one electrode and a positive charge builds up on the other. This process is known as “electrolytic capacitance”. The capacitance of the component is determined by the size of the electrode and the distance between them. The tantalum pentoxide material also has the added benefit of being polarised, which greatly improves the component’s efficiency when the component is operating in high-voltage levels.

The device is also manufactured in great detail, which gives it greater longevity. Unlike ceramic capacitors, tantalum-polymer capacitors don’t suffer any material loss during prolonged charging and use. The component also has excellent temperature stability and high frequency performance, meaning that it can be used in high-reliability, rapid switching operations.

In addition to the robustness and longevity of the component, the device is also incredibly small and lightweight. This allows the capacitor to be used in applications where size and weight are restricted. For example, the 9mm x 19mm footprint of the T550B256K100BH0100 makes the component ideal for PCB designs where space is at a premium. This can result in better performance, better energy handling and smaller PCB footprints.

Overall, the T550B256K100BH0100 has quite a few advantages when it comes to its application field and working principles. Its ability to be used in high-density applications, its long life and temperature stability, as well as its small size, makes it an ideal component for many applications where highly reliable, robust solutions are needed.
