T55B336M010C0200

Tantalum-Polymer capacitors are a type of ceramic capacitors made of polymer-based electrolytes, which are more reliable and have more applications than traditional electrolytic capacitors. Due to its low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and an impressive operating temperature range (-65C to +175C), tantalum-polymer capacitors are specified for power management, telecommunications and other applications.

T55B336M010C0200 is a typical example of a tantalum-polymer capacitor. This low ESR capacitor with a 10uF of capacitance has a 3.6V of rated voltage and a maximum of 2.00A rated current. The current ratings of tantalum polymer capacitors are typically more than 5 times the value of traditional electrolytic capacitors.

Application Field

The most common use of T55B336M010C0200 is in power applications, especially in non-critical applications such as in amplifier circuits, as a voltage stabilizer or buffering device. The low ESR of T55B336M010C0200 enables large current surges. This makes the device suitable for high current applications such as LED lighting, automotive electronics and power supplies. Additionally, this device is also used for board-level decoupling applications and filter circuits.

Tantalum-polymer capacitors are also widely used in telecommunications, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and other wireless communication applications. Because the low equivalent series resistance (ESR) of this device enables lower power losses, it is ideal for high frequency data transmissions.

Working Principle

A tantalum-polymer capacitor consists of a tantalum anode, an iron backplane and a special type of electrolytic material in between, called a liquid electrolyte. The liquid electrolyte is an ionic conductor and also a dielectric. When a voltage is applied, an electric field is created within the capacitor, which induces charged ions to move through the liquid electrolyte, thus causing a current flow. This current is used to charge the dielectric material and the current flow is proportional to the applied voltage.

Due to its low ESR, the tantalum-polymer capacitor can dissipate heat more efficiently, making it suitable for high power handling applications. As the current increases, the capacitor will start to generate heat, and the efficient heat dissipation will help to protect the device from damage and maximize its life-span.

T55B336M010C0200 is a high performance, low ESR device with wide applications. Its high temperature, low ESR and long-term reliability make it an ideal choice for many power and telecommunications applications. The device is widely used and is available at a reasonable cost.
