T86E227M6R3ESAL

Tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitor. Manufactured with a tantalum oxide layer between two conducting surfaces, they are a reliable, cost-effective form of energy storage. The T86E227M6R3ESAL is a type of tantalum capacitor that has specific applications and working principles.

Applications

The T86E227M6R3ESAL is a polarized surface mount tantalum capacitor, which has a higher capacitance and energy density than other types. It is designed for applications in which small size and low-ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) are essential. It is often used in power management circuits, such as power supplies, converters, and laptops. It is also commonly found in RF and telecommunications applications.

Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors, like all electrolytic capacitors, operate by storing electrical charge between two metal plates, separated by an electrolyte. In the case of the T86E227M6R3ESAL, the one plate is made of a tantalum anode and the other is a cathode made of an oxide layer. The oxide layer acts as a dielectric material, insulating the anode and cathode while storing the electrical charge. When voltage is applied, current will pass between the anode and cathode, causing an electrochemical reaction that produces the oxide layer. This layer is very thin and provides a high capacitance, low-ESR, and efficient energy storage. It is also capable of withstanding higher temperatures and surviving over a wide range of temperatures and voltages.

Conclusion

The T86E227M6R3ESAL is a polarized surface mount tantalum capacitor that offers high capacitance and energy density in a small size. It is designed for applications in which size and low-ESR are essential, such as power management circuits, RF and telecommunications, and laptops. Its working principle relies on an oxide layer that provides a dielectric between two conducting surfaces and stores electrical charge.
