T95R686M016ESSL

Tantalum capacitors are a type of discrete capacitor that is primarily used in electrical circuits. They are often used in applications requiring high capacitance values, such as power supplies, audio amplifiers, and motor control. The T95R686M016ESSL is a 6.3 V, 10,000 μF capacitor with high ripple current and long life. This type of capacitor is ideal for applications in harsh environments where temperature, humidity, and vibration must be taken into consideration.

Application Field

The T95R686M016ESSL is used in a variety of applications where high capacitance is needed, such as power supplies, audio amplifiers, motor control, and lighting. Its small size and low self-inductance make it well-suited for switch-mode power supplies and motor control applications. Its high ripple current also makes it suitable for solar panel applications, where it can act as a mathematical filter.

The T95R686M016ESSL is also used in medical imaging and electronics equipment. In these applications, the capacitor is needed to provide high capacitance values, while withstanding extreme environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and vibration.

Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors are constructed with two electrodes. The electrodes are separated by a dielectric. The electrode is usually a tantalum metal and the dielectric is an oxide. When a voltage is applied across the terminals of the capacitor, the voltage forces electrons to move from the positive terminal of the capacitor to the negative terminal. This results in a charge separation between the two electrodes.

Tantalum capacitors are also designed to be polarized. This means that when the voltage is changed, the charge on the capacitor must be redistributed. As a result, there is an equivalent series resistance (ESR) associated with the capacitor which must be taken into account when designing circuits with the T95R686M016ESSL. The ESR of the T95R686M016ESSL is typically around 50 mOhms.

Tantalum capacitors are highly stable and long-lasting, making them ideal for applications where reliability and performance are critical. Their small size and low ESR allow them to be used in applications with high frequencies or temperatures. The high ripple current and low ESR of the T95R686M016ESSL make it perfect for applications in medical imaging and electronics equipment.
