T95R227K016LSAS

Tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitor. They are made from tantalum metal which acts as an anode, covered by an insulating oxide layer and surrounded by level cathode material. The cathode material is usually manganese dioxide but may also be silver or graphite. Tantalum capacitors are both polarization sensitive and high capacity in comparison with other types of electrolytic capacitors. They are mainly used in computer motherboards and audio circuits.

The T95R227K016LSAS is a surface mount tantalum capacitor. It is constructed out of a tantalum core, a dielectric manganese dioxide and manganese and silver electrodes. Its primary feature is a low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) which allows for increased performance and reduced power consumption. Its rated capacitance is 0.22uF with an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. Its rated voltage is 10VDC with a maximum ripple current of 27mA.

The working principle of the T95R227K016LSAS is based on conventional electrochemical capacitor principles. When a voltage is applied across the terminals, a current flows that charges the capacitor through the oxide layer. This charge is stored in the form of an electric field between the device\'s electrodes, and an energy is stored within the field. This energy is what allows the capacitor to efficiently store and discharge electric energy.

The main application of the T95R227K016LSAS is to provide filtering and bypassing in DC circuits. It can be used as a decoupling capacitor in low voltage DC circuits that require fast response times such as those found in computer motherboards, audio circuits, and other low power applications. It is also useful in applications where the output voltage needs to be regulated, such as in power supplies, LED drivers, and amplifiers. It can also be used to filter noise out of signal lines.

In summary, the T95R227K016LSAS is a surface mount tantalum capacitor which has a low equivalent series resistance and a high capacitance. It is suitable for use in low voltage DC circuits and can be used for filtering, bypassing, and noise reduction in these circuits.
