Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are an electrochemical capacitor which combines a tantalum anode with an electrolytic cathode, usually consisting of an oxide layer. They are also known as Tantalum–Oxide capacitors or Ta–Ox capacitors. This type of capacitor is often used in portable electronics as they have some advantages over traditional capacitors.

Advantages of Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors offer the following advantages when compared to other types of capacitors:

• smaller in size, so they can be used in space-constrained locations
• relatively low leakages, so they exhibit a longer lifespan and reduce power losses
• excellent temperature and voltage stability
• consistently high capacitance values
• low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance)
• low cost

Disadvantages of Tantalum Capacitors

The few disadvantages of tantalum capacitors include:

• higher capacitance losses at high frequencies
• subject to catastrophic failure due to overvoltage or overcurrent
• limited maximum available capacitance

TAP685K035BRW Application Field and Working Principle

The TAP685K035BRW is a specifically designed tantalum capacitor for use in the automotive and industrial fields. This type of capacitor is often used in applications such as motor control, engine control, and computers.

This capacitor works on the same principle as any other capacitor in terms of charging and discharging. The principle is that two metal plates or plates which are separated by an insulating material, also known as dielectric, are connected to a voltage source and then the capacitor holds a charge for a specific amount of time.

When the capacitor is charged, the voltage difference between the two plates is the same and the capacitor stores energy in the form of an electric field between the plates until the capacitor is discharged.

The TAP685K035BRW capacitor can handle higher voltage and current applications due to its high chemistries and excellent performance. The TAP685K035BRW is designed to offer better surge voltage capabilities and provides greater reliability than other conventional capacitors.

In addition to its high performance, the TAP685K035BRW capacitor also uses a patented design that allows it to have very low equivalent series resistance (ESR) values. This feature ensures that the capacitor can deliver high output currents at low temperatures without significantly affecting the capacitor\'s efficiency.

The TAP685K035BRW capacitor is well-suited for use in applications such as motor control, engine control, and computers. It is also a good choice for use in high-temperature environments as it offers excellent temperature and voltage stability.
