The capacitor is constructed with a polymer dielectric, solid tantalum anode and cathode, and an anode coating consisting of an anodizing polymer active material and tantalum powder.

Application field

The TCJB226M016R0150 is suited for general purpose power supply applications and high-performance portable and mobile applications, computer peripherals, smart phone, tablet and display devices, digital television (DTV), automotive battery systems, and batteries for electric vehicles. It is also suited for military and aerospace applications, including avionics and other high-reliability applications, as well as for medical equipment and applications in which shock and vibration performance, compactness and weight reduction are critical.

Working Principle

The capacitor has a dual role in many applications, providing low-loss and high-efficiency energy storage and an electrical filter. Tantalum polymers capacitors, like other Tantalum electrolytic capacitors, are constructed with a porous tantalum anode and a solid cathode. The dielectric is made of polymers (or polymers in combination with other materials). The capacitor\'s anode is also coated with anodizing polymer active material (ACT) to improve its safety, life and performance. The electrical current flows as electrons move between the anode and cathode through the electrolyte solution. The ACT coating on the anode helps to reduce losses at high voltages by providing a conductive path throughout the device. As current flows through the ACT, an electric field is created which increases the electrolyte\'s conductivity.

The tantalum-polymer capacitor is ideal for applications requiring low ESR, high capacitance, high ripple current and temperature operation range. Compared with electrolytic capacitors, its anode-electrolyte interface leakage current is considerably lower. Its high ripple current and temperature operation range make it suitable for high reliability applications, such as computers, memory modules, robotics and medical instrumentation etc. Its excellent capacitance retention over its extended range of temperature ensures long term stability.

In conclusion, the TCJB226M016R0150 tantalum-polymer capacitor is a small and reliable component that can be used in many applications requiring high-performance and high-reliability energy storage and filtering features. Its excellent electrical characteristics make it suitable for use in many applications involving space-constrained and high-performance power supply design.
