TAP475K006CRW

Tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitor. They are made using tantalum metal for the anode, with an oxide layer acting as the dielectric, and a solid manganese dioxide electrolyte as the cathode. The anode layer is formed in the manufacturing process by anodization, which creates a highly porous layer that allows for a higher capacitance than other materials in a similarly-sized package. These capacitors have high capacitance for their size and weight, as well as good stability and reliability.

TAP475K006CRW Application Field and Working Principle

The TAP475K006CRW is a type of tantalum capacitor. It is a surface-mount, radial-lead device with a voltage rating of 6.3V and a capacitance of 4.7μF. It is designed to be used in applications such as filtering, decoupling, and bypass circuits, as well as being a replacement for larger, more costly aluminum capacitors. It can also be used in timing circuits and voltage regulation.

Tantalum capacitors work by storing energy through the accumulation of electric charge between two separate electrodes. The dielectric material (the tantalum oxide layer) in these capacitors is responsible for maintaining the capacitance with varying temperatures and voltages, and for providing stable impedance over the entire operating temperature range. As with most capacitors, the capacitance of a tantalum capacitor is determined by its size, shape, and material properties.

Because of the advanced construction of the TAP475K006CRW and its high power rating, it is an often used option for high-reliability, precision circuits. It is also used in medical, military, communications and industrial automation applications, since these types of circuits must often operate in conditions where smaller, less reliable capacitors would not be suitable.
