TAP686K010CAC

Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are commonly used electronic components. Capacitors are used in a wide variety of applications ranging from basic data acquisition to signal conditioning. In particular, the TAP686K010CAC is a type of small, non-polarized, and all-purpose Tantalum capacitor.

Tantalum capacitors are constructed out of two pieces of conductive material separated by an insulating substance, usually Tantalum. This creates a two-terminal capacitor where current – or electric charge – can be stored. The TAP686K010CAC features a 10-volt voltage rating and can be used in many electronics applications.

Application Field and Working Principle

The TAP686K010CAC can be used in many different fields. It is used in basic circuits such as a signal conditioning to filter noise from an incoming signal. Additionally, it is used as an energy storage device in high-power applications such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This capacitor can also be used in consumer applications such as audio circuitry.

The working principle of the TAP686K010CAC is simply the ability to store charge. Current flows into the capacitor to be stored for a certain amount of time. The time in which the capacitor stores the charge can be designed based on the application in which it is being used. The capacitance of the device is specified by its capacitance value. The capacitance can be modified by adjusting the size of the capacitor.

The TAP686K010CAC is a surface mount capacitor with polarizations of Ag/Pd, which uses the layer-to-layer technology with ceramic inner dielectric material. It has an operating temperature range of -55 degrees Celsius to +125 degrees Celsius (-67 degrees Fahrenheit to +257 degrees Fahrenheit). The shelf life of this device is 1000 hours at 85 degrees Celsius (+185 degrees Fahrenheit).

Summary

The TAP686K010CAC is a type of small, non-polarized, and all-purpose Tantalum capacitor. It can be used in many different fields from basic circuits such as a signal conditioning to high-power applications such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The working principle is simply the ability to store charge with an adjustable capacitance depending the size of the capacitor. This capacitor has a 10-volt voltage rating and an operating temperature range of -55 degrees Celsius to +125 degrees Celsius (-67 degrees Fahrenheit to +257 degrees Fahrenheit) with a shelf life of 1000 hours at 85 degrees Celsius (+185 degrees Fahrenheit).
