Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors, also known as tantalum electrolytic capacitors, are a type of electrolytic capacitor that use a tantalum-coated plate as its anode. They are primarily used in circuit boards due to their high voltage and low leakage characteristics. They come in many styles and shapes, and are also known to be one of the most expensive types of capacitors. They are made of a tantalum powder which is mixed with a conducting paste, then pressed into a thin film and submerged in an electrolyte.

T86C106M020EBAS application field and working principle

The T86C106M020EBAS is a type of tantalum capacitor that is a surface mount, miniature two-terminal electrolytic capacitor used for general purpose and low voltage applications. With its high capacitance and low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) value, these capacitors are suitable for use in DC and AC circuits, especially where space is limited. The capacitors have a wide range of applications, such as power supply filtering, signal decoupling, timing and frequency control, overvoltage protection and many other small-size applications.

The working principle of the T86C106M020EBAS is to store electric charges between two metal plates, known as plates, separated by an electrolyte. The foil plates are anodized with tantalum and then soaked in an electrolyte, such as a sodium hydroxide solution. When the capacitor is charged, the positive metal oxide layer on the foil anode attracts anions (negative ions), forming an electrical double layer at the electrode-electrolyte interface. The negative ions are attracted to the positive layer, creating an electrical potential that stores energy. When a potential is applied across the capacitor, the double layer shifts to the opposite plate, allowing an electrical flow.

The capacitance of the T86C106M020EBAS can be adjusted using a variety of values. These capacitors are typically rated for a capacitance range of 10 pF to 220 μF with a voltage rating of 6.3 VDC up to 50 VDC. This high-capacitance capacitor is highly resistant to changes in humidity, temperature, and aging. It also has high-temperature stability and low self-discharge, making it suitable for high-frequency oscillators, digital circuits, and memory circuits. The self-discharge can be measured by very low ohmmeter measurements (less than 5 micro-ohms).

The T86C106M020EBAS is a very useful piece of technology that can be used to save space and increase efficiency. With its small size, wide capacitance range, and high voltage ratings, these capacitors are ideal for a variety of applications. Its high reliability, long life, and low self-discharge makes it ideal for many different industrial applications. With its wide range of uses and its compact size, it is sure to be a useful component in many circuits.
