TAP155K035BRS

Tantalum capacitors, sometimes referred to as tantalum electrolytics, are capacitors that contain a thin tantalum film deposited onto an insulating material. Tantalum capacitors offer several benefits over traditional ceramic, paper, and electrolytic capacitors: better temperature stability, greater volumetric efficiency, and a long-term reliability. The TAP155K035BRS is a type of tantalum capacitor that offers high capacitance and high temperature stability.

The TAP155K035BRS is designed for use in a wide range of applications, from portable electronic devices, computer motherboards and servers to high-end audio equipment, automotive electronics and industrial systems. Common applications for the TAP155K035BRS include power filters, charge pumps, pulsers, timing circuits, motor controllers, sensitive amplifiers, and voltage regulator systems. The capacitor is also suitable for power switching applications in SMPSs, DC-DC converters, and LED drivers.

The working principle of the TAP155K035BRS is based on an action-reaction phenomenon in which surface charges arise due to an electrical field created between two conducting layers. In this case, the two conducting layers are the tantalum oxide film and the anode layer. When a voltage is applied across the two layers, ions migrate in the oxide film and create an electrical field that provides the capacitor with an electrical charge.

When an alternating current is applied, charges accumulate on one layer, while the other layer will experience a discharge in response. This reaction is repeated cyclically, resulting in the storing and releasing of electrical charges as the capacitor alternately stores and releases energy. The capacitance of the capacitor is determined by the amount of electrical charge it can store and the distance between the two conductors.

The TAP155K035BRS has a voltage rating of 35 volts and a capacitance of 155 microfarads. It has a wide range of operating temperatures and is suitable for use in harsh conditions. Its reliable performance and long-term stability make it a popular choice for many applications.
