T95R156M050HSAS

Tantalum capacitors, most often referred to as tants or polarized capacitors, are electrochemical capacitors whose anode electrodes are made of tantalum, a metal that has a high resistance to corrosion and high specific capacitance. The T95R156M050HSAS in particular is a miniature, molded tantalum capacitor, suitable for automated assembly.

Tantalum capacitors offer a variety of advantages over other types of capacitors. Unlike aluminum capacitors, for example, they have relatively high volumetric efficiency, meaning that they can store more energy with less physical area. This makes them ideal for high-density applications like mobile devices and personal computers where board space is at a premium. Additionally, they have an exceptionally low incidence of failure when used correctly, and they offer excellent temperature stability.

The key difference between tantalum capacitors and other types of capacitors is their design. Tantalum capacitors contain a sintered anode of metal oxide and an electrolyte of organic solvent or an aqueous electrolyte. The anode is made from a mixture of powder and graphite, which helps to make it highly porous. The electrolyte serves several purposes, including forming a protective layer on the surface of the anode and establishing electrical conduction paths between the anode and the cathode.

In terms of application field, T95R156M050HSAS tantalum capacitors are used in electronic circuits, radio-frequency circuits, and power supplies. Their accuracy, temperature stability, and long-term reliability make them a popular choice for many applications.The basic working principle of a tantalum capacitor is simple. The anode provides a layer of oxide insulation, which prevents direct current from flowing between the anode and the cathode. The electrolyte provides individual pathways for direct current to flow. The capacitor then stores charge, much like a rechargeable battery, just in reverse. When a voltage is applied across the capacitor, electrons flow freely between the anode and the cathode, creating an electric field that stores the charge.

In summary, the T95R156M050HSAS is a miniature, molded tantalum capacitor, suitable for automated assembly and is used in a variety of applications, from electronic circuits to radio-frequency circuits. Its high volumetric efficiency, low incidence of failure, and excellent temperature stability make it a popular choice for many projects. The working principle of the capacitor is relatively simple; the anode and electrolyte provide insulation and pathways for electricity to flow, and the capacitor stores the electric charge.
