Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are a type of capacitors used in electronic circuits. They are composed of a tantalum metal oxide and a conducting material, and offer several characteristics over other types of capacitors.These characteristics include a wide temperature range, low leakage current, low thermal noise and high capacitance value.

TAP475K010SCS Application Field

The TAP475K010SCS is a commonly used tantalum capacitor. It is used in a variety of different applications, including high temperature, low voltage and low frequency filtering, power supply filtering and signal filtering.

The TAP475K010SCS is often used in high frequency switches, high current switches, high voltage signal rectification, DC to AC converters and various other electronic circuits.

In addition, the capacitor is also used for its high dielectric strength and for its low power consumption. The capacitor is used for applications such as switching power supplies, AC/DC converters, battery charging circuits, audio amplifiers and power distribution rectifiers.

Working Principle

A typical tantalum capacitor consists of two components, the anode and the cathode. The anode is constructed from an insoluble tantalum oxide and a conducting material, and the cathode is constructed from a conducting material.

When a voltage is applied across these two components, a tantalum plate with an oxide film is formed resulting in an increase in the capacitance. The film acts as a dielectric between the two components, and the capacitance increases as the voltage increases.

The capacitor is also able to withstand high temperatures and long term high voltage use, which makes it ideal for use in power supplies and various other electronic circuits.
