T95Y476M6R3CSSL

Introduction

Tantalum capacitors, or “tantalum caps”, are a type of pseudo-capacitor which combines the properties of an electrolytic capacitor with those of a solid-state ceramic capacitor. This makes them reliable, long lasting, and very efficient all-in-one devices. The letters T95Y476M6R3CSSL refer to the series, style, key construction, and dielectric of this specific type of capacitor.

Construction and Design

The T95Y476M6R3CSSL type of tantalum capacitor has a solid tantalum core coated in a dielectric material, typically manganese oxide or tantalum pentoxide. A current is then passed through the core and the dielectric material to charge the device. The device is then sealed in a protective shell made of either metal or plastic.

The dielectric material is the key component that determines the capacitance of the device, and the T95Y476M6R3CSSL type of tantalum capacitor possesses a higher capacitance than most other types. This makes them well suited for applications which require high levels of capacitance, such as power supplies, decoupling circuits, and audio and video circuits.

Application Field and Working Principle

The T95Y476M6R3CSSL type of tantalum capacitor is commonly used in electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other portable electronic devices. These capacitors are also used in power supplies for computers and large electronic systems, as well as in automotive systems, to handle large amounts of current.

The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is fairly simple. When an electric charge is applied to the two electrodes of the capacitor, the dielectric material (the electrolyte) between them stores electrical energy. This energy is then stored as a potential difference across the device, allowing it to act like an energy source when the electric charge is removed. The capacitance of the device is determined by the volume of the dielectric material between the two electrodes, as well as the type of dielectric material used.

Conclusion

Tantalum capacitors, like the T95Y476M6R3CSSL type, are relatively inexpensive and efficient components which are ideal for handling large currents and storing large amounts of energy. This makes them well suited for applications such as power supplies, decoupling circuits, and audio and video circuits. As such, they are widely used in a variety of electronic devices.
