Tantalum Capacitors

A tantalum capacitor is a type of electrolytic capacitor, which consists of tantalum as an anode, covered with an insulating oxide layer and an electrolyte as a cathode. The most common form of tantalum capacitor uses a solid manganese dioxide as the electrolyte, which is held between the electrode and the cover plate. Unlike regular electrolytic capacitors, which can employ either electrolyte or non-electrolyte electrolyte, tantalum capacitors are only available in electrolytic form.

T95Y476M6R3CZAL is a type of tantalum surface-mount chip capacitor, which is specifically designed to be used in high-density digital applications, where space is limited. It has a unique electrode design that allows it to be mounted on the surface of the circuit board. The device is made up of a tantalum anode, a dielectric made of tantalum dioxide, and a tantalum barrier layer to insulate the two components. The anode of the capacitor is covered by an extremely thin, low-resistance lid that acts as an insulator.

Application Field

T95Y476M6R3CZAL capacitors are ideal for applications such as high-speed switching circuits, computer systems, modems, routers, and other digital signal systems. They are also commonly used in industrial, medical, defense, and automotive applications. Due to its high capacitance value, the T95Y476M6R3CZAL is an excellent choice for applications that require high reliability and long-term stability. It has a large temperature coefficient range which makes it suitable for wide variation applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of the T95Y476M6R3CZAL tantalum capacitor is essentially the same as that of traditional capacitors. When a voltage is applied across the capacitor, an electric field builds up, creating a capacitive effect. This electrical field induces a current between the plates, which in turn creates a charge on the capacitor. The capacitor then stores the charge until it is discharged, or until the voltage across the capacitor drops below the breakdown voltage.

The T95Y476M6R3CZAL has a much lower leakage current compared to other types of capacitors, thus making it more suitable for use in high-speed switching circuits. It also has a very high capacitance to volume ratio, making it a great choice for applications that require a great deal of capacitance in a small space. In addition, the device has an extremely low ESR, or equivalent series resistance, which makes it ideal for use in power supply designs that require low ripple and noise.

Conclusion

The T95Y476M6R3CZAL is a type of tantalum surface-mount chip capacitor that is designed for digital applications requiring space-efficiency and high reliability. It is ideal for applications such as computer systems, routers, modems, and other digital signal systems. The device has a unique electrode design that allows it to be mounted on the surface of the circuit board, while its high capacitance value and extremely low ESR make it an excellent choice for design requiring power-supply stability.
