TAP335K020SCS

Tantalum capacitors are special type of surface mount capacitors that use tantalum and specialized dielectrics to achieve high-density capacitance in a very small package. The TAP335K020SCS is a surface-mount tantalum capacitor with an ESR of 0.010 Ohms and an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. It is designed for applications in automotive, telecom and industrial control systems, where high voltage power supplies are required.

The TAP335K020SCS has a solid-state construction that enables it to withstand high-pressure, shock and vibration. It maintains the same electrical characteristics over a wide temperature range. The package includes two conductive electrodes, aka a “disc” and a “drum”, and two dielectric layers. The top electrode is the disc, which is typically made of a titanium-based alloy. The disc is inserted into the greater dielectric layer, which can be made from materials such as solid polymer film, glass, plastic, or ceramic. The drum is a solid tantalum core that is inserted into the smaller dielectric layer. The bottom electrode of the TAP335K020SCS is the drum.

The working principle of the TAP335K020SCS is based on the same principles that govern other types of capacitors. The two electrodes are charged with opposite electrical charges. As current passes through the capacitor, the charges create an electrical field that stores energy. This energy is then released when the capacitor is discharged. The combination of the dielectric layers and the two electrodes create a space in which a high dielectric constant is achieved, resulting in a high capacitance.

Due to its robust physical construction, the TAP335K020SCS is ideal for applications in harsh environments. This tantalum capacitor offers increased levels of safety, reliability, and performance. It is commonly used in regulated high-voltage power supplies, high-speed switching applications, and as a bulk electrolytic storage device. In addition, the TAP335K020SCS has higher surge current and short-term voltage capabilities compared to other capacitors, making it especially suitable for demanding applications.

The efficient performance of the TAP335K020SCS makes it a preferred choice for many industrial, automotive, and telecom applications. Its high capacitance-to-volume ratio and reliability make it ideal for high-density surface mounting, as well as for applications that require exceptional electrical characteristics in a very small package. The TAP335K020SCS offers excellent performance in a wide range of temperatures, a low ESR rating, and an extended operating life even in high-power applications.
