TAP226M016BRW

Tantalum capacitors consist of a tantalum powder anode, a conductive solid electrolyte and an external cathode, and are a type of electrolytic capacitor. The TAP226M016BRW is a type of tantalum capacitor, with a 22μF capacitance and a 25V operating temperature. It is intended for use in consumer electronics and other mobile applications, such as mobile phones and tablets, as well as noise and power filtering applications.

The capacitance of a tantalum capacitor is determined by the surface area and dielectric constant of the anode material as well as the distance between the anode and the cathode. The TAP226M016BRW has a maximum capacitance of 22μF, which is suitable for many noise and power filtering applications. Additionally, the 25V operating temperature of the capacitor means it can be used with higher voltage equipment without compromising on performance or reliability.

A tantalum capacitor works on the same principle as other types of electrolytic capacitors – a voltage is applied between two conductive plates, causing a current to flow. This creates an electric field in the dielectric material between the two plates, and a charge separation occurs. The capacitance of the capacitor is proportional to the area of the plates and the distance between them, and is thus different based on the type of capacitor.

The TAP226M016BRW has a specially designed anode which increases the capacitance and enables the capacitor to perform reliably in high voltage and power filtering applications. The nickel-plated shell further protects the capacitor from corrosion, paving the way for long-term reliability and performance. Additionally, the capacitor is equipped with a 50mΩ ESR, which ensures that it performs optimally even in high-frequency and noise filtering applications.

In conclusion, the TAP226M016BRW is a tantalum capacitor suitable for a variety of applications, including mobile phones and tablets, as well as power and noise filtering applications. It has a maximum capacitance of 22μF, a 25V operating temperature, and a 50mΩ ESR. Additionally, its nickel-plated shell protects it from corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
