TAJC475M016R

Tantalum capacitors are passive components used for energy storage, which have a wide range of applications in the communication industry, automotive industry, aerospace industry, consumer electronics industry and other fields. The TAJC475M016R is a type of tantalum capacitor, which has an impressive performance in certain applications.

The TAJC475M016R has a maximum capacitance of 47uF, a rated voltage of 16 volts, and dimensions of 4.5×5.8 mm. This type of capacitor is suitable for use in high density, low profile, power/signal filtering/decoupling, wave-shaping, spike protection, timing capacitors and other applications which require higher capacity, lower voltage and better stability.

The TAJC475M016R is based on a tantalum anode sandwich composed by a layer of tantalum powder and an oxide containing electrolyte. The solid electrolyte can store much more electrostatic energy than an electrolytic capacitor due to its construction and this is why it is always much more expensive than it. Unlike common electrolytic capacitors which are constructed with two plates of aluminium or a metalized film and a electrolyte, the TAJC475M016R is based on a single piece of capacitive material, which makes it a much more robust component.

The working principle is quite simple. When direct current is applied to the TAJC475M016R, an electrostatic charge is built up on one of the capacitor plates, while the other plate is insulated by the oxide layer. This electrostatic charge is the electrical energy stored by the capacitor and it is proportional to the applied current. The higher the voltage applied to the capacitor, the higher the electrostatic charge, and hence the higher the capacitance.

The TAJC475M016R is a reliable high density capacitor with excellent capacitive characteristics and a wide operating range. Its small size and robust design makes it perfect for use in demanding applications in various industries. It is also widely used as decoupling devices between power and ground in circuits operating up to 16 volts.
