T550B567M010AT4251

Tantalum - Polymer Capacitors are an electronic component used in many electrical and electronic systems. The T550B567M010AT4251 is a type of polymer capacitor that is sourced by several manufacturers. It is an SMD type of capacitor and utilizes a lower profile case than other types of tantalum capacitors, making it highly suitable for many applications requiring small size and high capacitance.

The T550B567M010AT4251 polymer capacitor comes with a 10V 10μF electrolytic type of capacitor. It has top-polarized properties due to its radial lead design, allowing it to direct current away from sensitive components when the circuit is in operation. It also provides up to 125°C of operating temperature range with a +85°C to -40°C capacitance change.

The T550B567M010AT4251 polymer capacitor is typically used in handheld and wireless consumer applications as a decoupling capacitor, voltage regulator or timing capacitor. In automotive applications, the capacitor can be used as part of an oscillator circuit or as an energy storage device. In motor control applications, the capacitor is also used as a noise filter, as well as a timing capacitor.

The working principle of the T550B567M010AT4251 polymer capacitor is based on the application of an electrical charge between two metal plates separated by a thin insulator or dielectric material. When voltage is applied across the plates, an electric field is generated that causes a charge to move between them. This charge creates a space between the two plates, which is known as a capacitor. The capacitance of the capacitor is determined by its size, the number of plates, and the dielectric material used.

The T550B567M010AT4251 capacitor also utilizes tantalum electrodes, which are an alloy of two metals, usually nickel and manganese. This combination of metals creates a material with a very stable surface, which is ideal for allowing current to flow without forming arcs. The electrodes absorb the charge and then release it as the capacitor discharges, allowing the capacitor to store electrical energy more effectively than standard capacitor dielectrics.

In conclusion, the T550B567M010AT4251 is a type of polymer capacitor that is able to provide a high capacitance with a very small size. Its top-polarized design allows current to be directed away from sensitive components, and its tantalum electrodes allow it to store more energy than standard capacitors. These features make it suitable for many applications, including voltage regulation and motor control.
