T95R107K020LABS

A tantalum capacitor is a type of electrolytic capacitor, a component of electronic circuits. It typically consists of a pellet of tantalum metal as an anode, covered by an insulating oxide layer that forms the dielectric, surrounded by conductive material as a cathode. This guide takes a look at the tantalum capacitor T95R107K020LABS and its application fields and working principles.

Physical Characteristics

The T95R107K020LABS is mainly composed of three components: the pellet of tantalum metal, the dielectric oxide layer, and the conductive material. It is a single-anode capacitor of standard size 7343-31, with a thickness of 1.45 Tmm and a diameter of 2.42mm. The rated voltage is 6.3V and the rated capacitance is 10 μF. Its capacitance varies slightly depending on the frequency, and most of its parameters are common for all of the other tantalum capacitors.

Application field

The T95R107K020LABS tantalum capacitor is used in many contexts, such as composite circuits, power-supply smoothing, control circuits, and timing circuits. In particular, it is widely used in automotive and industrial controls, medical imaging machines, LED lighting, and other missions-critical applications, as well as consumer electronics. The device offers excellent performance in terms of temperature, stability, leakage current, and durability. It holds up even under demanding environmental conditions, including spikes in voltage and current.

Working Principle

When a voltage is applied between the two terminals of the tantalum capacitor, an electric field is created in the charge in the anode. This electric field causes the oxide layer to become more conductive and allow electrons to pass through it. In effect, the oxide layer acts like a control valve, allowing a certain amount of current to flow through the device. This current is proportional to the voltage applied to the capacitor and creates the capacitance. The capacitor stores a charge and can be used to regulate the voltage.

Conclusion

The T95R107K020LABS tantalum capacitor is a reliable, high-performance device suitable for a wide range of applications. Its robust construction and excellent performance characteristics make it an ideal choice for its intended applications. It is known for its wide temperature range, high stability, low leakage current, and long service life, even under extreme environmental conditions.
