TARQ335M006

Tantalum capacitors, such as the TARQ335M006, are a type of electronic components that are commonly used in electric circuits for power storage and signal filtering. Tantalum capacitors differ from other types of capacitors in that they use an underlying electrolytic material made of tantalum (Ta) oxide. Such electrolytic capacitors offer several benefits compared to standard film capacitors. They are usually much smaller in size, have lower leakage currents and require shorter charging times. As such, they are often used in sectors where space problems, precision and quick response times are important.

The TARQ335M006 tantalum capacitor is a multilayer type of capacitor, which is designed for surface mounting applications. It has a rated voltage of 16 Volts DC (VDC) and a rated capacitance of 33 μF. The series design includes a low ESR (equivalent series resistance) option, which helps achieve high frequency performance and a long service life. The capacitor also includes a special end seal, as well as a special lead finish. This allows the component to maintain its reliability and endurance in the face of extreme environmental conditions, such as those encountered in on-board automotive applications.

The working principle of the TARQ335M006 is based on the electrical properties of tantalum materials. When it is coupled with an electrolyte, the ta oxide used in the capacitor becomes an electrochemical medium. When an electrical potential is applied across this medium, an electric current between the two ends of the capacitor is generated. This electrical current causes an energy storage charge, which is held in reserve within the capacitor for a longer period of time. This is why capacitors are commonly referred to as \'energy storage\' devices.

The main applications of the TARQ335M006 include personal computers, automotive and industrial designs, as well as telecommunications and audio systems. It has become a popular choice for personal computers, as it requires minimal board area — as such, often no other capacitor type is suitable for use in this application. It has also been used in mobile phones and other personal electronic devices. As for automotive applications, the capacitor has been used both in electrically powered vehicles, as well as in fog lamps, headlamps, and other lighting components. Its long service life, high frequency performance and low ESR make the capacitor ideal for use in industrial applications also.
