TH3A335K016E3400

Tantalum capacitors are used in many electronic devices. They are a type of capacitor containing a form of tantalum metal as the anode. As with other capacitors, they store electrical energy and release it as needed to act as a power filter. Their specialty is that they can store much more energy than other capacitors with a similar physical size.

The TH3A335K016E3400

The TH3A335K016E3400 is a type of surface mount tantalum capacitor manufactured by Stackpole Electronics. This tantalum capacitor is known for its durable construction and higher capacitance than other capacitors of the same size. It is designed to have an insulated anode to prevent short-circuiting, which can allow the device to handle higher voltages than traditional capacitors. The TH3A335K016E3400 uses tantalum oxide as a dielectric, allowing it to achieve high capacitance values in a very small form factor. It also features a voltage rating of 16 volts, a capacitance value of 3300 microfarads, and an ESR value of 80 times the rated capacitance.

Application Field of TH3A335K016E3400

The TH3A335K016E3400 is mainly used for decoupling and bypass applications. The capacitor can act as a power filter to reduce the amount of electrical noise entering a circuit. The capacitor can also be used to reduce voltage ripple, maintain timing and to protect circuits from transient voltages. The TH3A335K016E3400 has a low ESR value, meaning that it can filter out a larger range of frequencies than capacitors with a high ESR rating. This makes it well-suited for use in high-frequency circuits, where it can reduce distortion and improve the signal-to-noise ratio.

Working Principle

The working principle of the TH3A335K016E3400 is based on the theory of capacitance.Capacitance is a unit of measure that describes the ability of a capacitor to store electrical energy. The current passing through a capacitor is proportional to the voltage across it and the capacitance. The TH3A335K016E3400 uses an electrical field between two metal plates (electrodes) with a dielectric material between them. The principle of capacitance states that if the voltage across the capacitor increases, the amount of energy stored in the capacitor also increases. This is what allows it to act as a power filter and store energy for use in circuits that require a high-frequency response.

Tantalum capacitors such as the TH3A335K016E3400 are used in many electronic devices to provide power filtering, decoupling and bypassing functions. The compact size of these components allows them to be easily integrated into circuits, allowing for more efficient design. With its low ESR rating and high capacitance, the TH3A335K016E3400 is a great choice for high-frequency applications that require a reliable power source.
