T95R226M050LSAL

Tantalum capacitors have been used in a variety of applications for some time, particularly in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. The specific model designation, T95R226M050LSAL, identifies a tantalum, surface mount electrolytic capacitor. This capacitor is designed for use in a potentially high temperature environment.

Tantalum capacitors are polarized capacitors and are similar to aluminum electrolytic capacitors. They have relatively high capacitance and are quite small in size making them useful for electronic applications where space is at a premium. They also have relatively high leakage currents, meaning that they are not suitable for use in static circuits. Instead, they are used in circuits where a stable voltage is required.

The capacitor consists of two tantalum plates, one acting as the anode and the other as the cathode, which are covered in a conducting electrolyte. When an AC voltage is applied to the plates, the electric field produced causes a displacement of electrons and corresponding ions in the electrolyte, which results in a capacitance. As the applied voltage increases, so does the capacitance. The capacitance of the capacitor can be changed by adjusting the size and shape of the plates.

The specific model designation T95R226M050LSAL relates to the physical size and rated specifications of the capacitor. T95 indicates that the capacitor has a physical size of 95mm x 95mm x 50mm and the R226 designates the rated specifications. Specifically, the rated voltage is 16V and the capacitance is 226µF. The LS indicates that the capacitor is rated for use in a high temperature environment up to 150°C. The AL designation indicates that the plates are made of Alumina, a ceramic-like material.

Tantalum capacitors are commonly used in a wide range of applications, such as automotive electronics, industrial control applications, military electronics, telecommunications, computers, and audio electronics. They are also used in power supplies to filter and regulate the flow of current, as well as in various medical applications. The specific model designation T95R226M050LSAL indicates that this capacitor is designed for use in high temperature or demanding applications.
