Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are electric double layer capacitors which employ tantalum (Ta) as the primary electrode material. These capacitors have relatively low capacitance-voltage ratio (ΔC/ΔV) which allow them to be used in low voltage applications. Tantalum capacitors are one of the most widely used types of capacitors today due to their low cost, high reliability, and low parasitic inductance.

T95R187M016HSSS is a type of tantalum capacitor with a dielectric type of MnO2. It is a surface mount device type with a capacitance of 0.005 µF (5 nF), a voltage rating of 16 VDC, and a temperature range of -55 to +125°C. This capacitor is used in a wide range of applications such as amplifiers, medical equipment, automotive systems, military and aerospace systems, and communications equipment.

The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is based on the Faraday law of induction. This law states that when a conductor is placed in a changing magnetic field, an electric field is created which is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic field. In a capacitor, negative charge accumulates on one plate, and a positive charge accumulates on the other plate. When an alternating voltage is applied across the capacitor, this creates an electric field across the plates which causes a current to flow between the plates. The current creates an opposing electric field which resists the applied voltage, resulting in the capacitor charging and discharging.

T95R187M016HSSS capacitors are a high reliability component with low parasitic inductance and can be used in applications such as filtering, decoupling, and noise suppression. They offer good temperature stability, high stability, and reliability in a wide temperature range. They can also be used in high frequency applications due to their low ESR (equivalent series resistance). With its high performance, cost-effectiveness, and small size, T95R187M016HSSS capacitors are suited for a wide range of modern applications.
