TARW686M006

Tantalum Capacitors

A tantalum capacitor is an electronic component consisting of a section of tantalum metal and an electrolyte, usually manganese dioxide. The device is often referred to as a wet tantalum capacitor due to the wet manganese dioxide electrolyte used. An alternative name for this type of capacitor is a solid electrolytic capacitor, and it is among the most common types of capacitor in use today.

TARW686M006 application field and working principle

TARW686M006 is a kind of tantalum capacitor, which is typically used in applications that require a high-temperature, high-efficiency operation. They offer good performance, good stability, excellent low noise characteristics, and relatively low ESR values.

Tantalum capacitors work by storing an electrical charge within the surface layer of the tantalum. This is achieved through a process known as "double-layer" electroplating. An electrical current is induced in the tantalum and anions (positive-charged particles) are deposited on the surface of the metal. The charged ions create an electrical field, which stores the energy.

The working principle of TARW686M006 is simple. It is just like any other capacitor but the added feature is that it has a higher working temperature than other types of capacitors. It is able to handle temperatures up to 125°C and this allows it to be used for a wider range of applications, such as in automotive electronics and military/space applications. In general, when a capacitor is used in a high temperature environment, it is necessary to make sure that a higher grade of material is specified for the component to ensure adequate performance.

TARW686M006 also has a higher pulse power rating compared to other capacitors, making it suitable for applications that require a higher pulse current. Its ability to handle higher current is due to its higher insulation resistance. This ensures that the capacitor does not suffer from any damage that could be caused by heavy load current.

The TARW686M006 also has a wide range of capacitance values available, ranging from 2.2µF to 470µF. This wide range allows for the capacitor to be used in circuits where a variety of capacitance values are required. This variety of values makes it possible to meet the needs of the application without having to resort to using multiple sets or components.

In conclusion, the TARW686M006 is a versatile and reliable capacitor which is ideal for applications that require a high temperature, high-efficiency operation. With its wide range of capacitance values and its higher pulse power rating, it is a popular choice for many different types of electronic designs.
