TAP336M016CCSY

Tantalum capacitors are electrical components designed to store energy through the concentration of electric charge within a conductive material. They work by generating an electric field due to the presence of two different metals, the anode and the cathode. The anode consists of a positive electrode which is a combination of niobium oxide, titanium oxide, and tantalum oxide. The cathode consists of a negative electrode which is a combination of manganese dioxide and tantalum dioxide. The combination of these two materials creates an anode-cathode potential, which can be adjusted by changing the electric potential between the two electrodes. The anode and cathode of a tantalum capacitor work in an opposite direction, the anode attracting charge while the cathode repels it.

The TAP336M016CCSY is a commercially available product from one of the major tantalum capacitor manufacturers. It is a miniature tantulum tantalum capacitor in a surface-mount SM package size.

It offers a high level of reliability, with a mean time between failure of greater than 200,000 hours.

The TAP336M016CCSY is mainly used for energy storage and decoupling applications in various electronic devices such as computers, mobile phones, communication equipments, and other consumer electronic products. It is also used in the circuit design of integrated control modules. The device’s low ESR and DF make it suitable for high frequency applications, while its small size enables it to be used in limited space applications. In addition, its high ripple current capability makes it a great choice for power supply filtering.

The working principle of the TAP336M016CCSY is based on the capacitor’s structure. A typical capacitor consists of a dielectric material, usually in the form of a film or other insulator, sandwiched between two metal electrodes. When a power source is connected to the two electrodes, a small electric field is created between them. This electric field causes the formation of an electric charge at the interface between the electrodes and the dielectric material. As the power is turned on or off, the charge of the capacitor changes and is stored in the form of an electric field. That electric field is maintained as long as there is a power source connected to the device.

The TAP336M016CCSY is a high-performance miniature tantalum capacitor specifically designed for demanding applications. With its high reliability and ability to store large amounts of electric charge, it is an ideal choice for a variety of different applications. It is a vital part of the circuit design of various electronic systems and is relied upon to maintain a steady voltage supply to various components.
