T95B156M016HSSS

Tantalum Capacitors make use of tantalum, an element found on the periodic table, in the application of capacitors. One example of a tantalum capacitor is the T95B156M016HSSS. It provides superior performance in very small packages and is especially suitable for applications with rapidly changing currents.

Capacitors, in general, are used in many different types of electric circuits. Essentially, they store electrical energy in the form of a potential difference, but unlike a battery, they do not produce energy. Capacitors are often used to increase the value of the current going through a circuit, as well as to filter signals by smoothing out or blocking a certain frequency.

Tantalum capacitors provide low impedance along with a wide operating temperature range and a long-term reliability. This type of capacitor also has a high charge density and low dissipation factor, which makes it a good choice for surface-mount applications.

The T95B156M016HSSS has a capacitance value of 156μF, a rated voltage of 16VDC, a maximum allowable ripple current of 1.5A, and an operating temperature range of -55°C to + 125°C. These characteristics make it ideal for electronics in areas where space is at a premium. It is also relatively low cost compared to other capacitors.

The working principle of the T95B156M016HSSS is the same as other capacitors. It works by storing charge in the form of an Electrochemical Potential Difference (EPD). When a voltage is applied across the capacitor leads, electrons accumulate on one plate, and move away from the other plate. This creates a charge across the capacitor, which will remain until the voltage is removed.

Being a multilayer ceramic capacitor, the T95B156M016HSSS is especially suitable for applications where high frequency signals are present, such as consumer electronics or computer systems. It is also suitable for motor rectification, switching power supplies, and many other applications. This versatile capacitor can be used in a wide range of applications, making it a popular choice in the electronic component industry.
