Tantalum Capacitors

T86D226M020EASL is a type of tantalum capacitors, which are commonly used in electronic circuitry. These capacitors employ the so-called “sponge” construction method and can store a charge for a relatively long time. They are mainly used in applications that require low-noise, low-voltage operation, such as audio and signal processing circuits, as well as high frequency/RF applications.

Application Field

T86D226M020EASL capacitors are suitable for applications such as audible frequency filters, AC coupling and decoupling, delay lines, pulse shaping, waveform generation, VCO synchronization, and signal buffering. They can also be used in RF communication devices, RF radio transmitters, and various kinds of semiconductor processors. They are widely deployed in industrial machinery, power supplies, automotive electrical systems, radio-frequency (RF) amplifiers, industrial and general avionics equipment, and in computer motherboard design.

Working Principle

T86D226M020EASL capacitors use a combined anode and cathode, essentially a conductive foil formed into a “sponge” shape between two disks of insulating material. When a charge is placed on the anode, it induces a corresponding charge in the cathode. This creates a potential difference between the two electrodes, known as the capacitor’s “voltage.” As current flows through the capacitor, the charge stored on the anode and cathode is slowly drained until it reaches equilibrium. This charge exchange is the basis for the capacitor’s working principle.

In addition, tantalum capacitors possess significantly higher stability and reliability than most other types of capacitors. For example, they can handle high-voltage surges and current spikes without suffering any major damage. Moreover, since the “sponge” construction requires fewer layers of insulation material, they also have a better temperature coefficient, meaning they can maintain a stable capacitance at varying temperatures. This makes them particularly suitable for use in industrial electronics and other conditions which require both accuracy and robustness.

Overall, T86D226M020EASL tantalum capacitors are an excellent choice for many digital and analog applications, due to their high performance, stability, and reliability.
