TH3B106K016C2000 Datasheet/PDFTantalum Capacitors
The TH3B106K016C2000 is an example of a tantalum capacitor, which is becoming increasingly popular in today\'s electronic applications. This type of capacitor is made from a layer of tantalum powder, an electrolyte, and a foil, which are all rolled into a cylindrical shape. Tantalum capacitors have the advantage of being smaller in size than most other types of capacitors. This type of capacitor is often used in place of other types of capacitors in circuit designs that are space-limited.
The TH3B106K016C2000 tantalum capacitor has a rated rated voltage of 16 volts and a capacitance of 2,000µF (microfarads). The life expectancy of this particular capacitor is 5,000 hours at 70°C and 2,000 hours at 85°C. The tantalum capacitor has a temperature coefficient of less than ±20% for temperatures between -55 and +105 °C.
Application Field
The TH3B106K016C2000 tantalum capacitor is mainly used for applications that require high capacitance values in a small size. It is often used in DC-DC converters, flash memory, medical equipment, and automotive electronics. The capacitor has a relatively low ESR and a long life expectancy, making it ideal for use in high frequency applications. In addition, the capacitor is able to handle high ripple current and high temperature environments.
Working Principle
The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is based on the electrochemical properties of the material that it is made from. When a voltage is applied between the two electrodes, an internal electrical charge is generated, and this charge is stored in the dielectric material, which is generally a type of oxide. The oxide layer acts as a barrier between the metal electrodes, which limits the number of electrons that are able to pass through it.
The capacitance of a tantalum capacitor depends on the size of the dielectric material, the distance between the electrodes, and the applied voltage. As the voltage increases, the capacitance decreases, and vice versa. This type of capacitor is also known as an electrolytic capacitor due to the fact that it relies on the electrolyte material to store the charge. The surface of the electrodes must be kept clean, as any contamination can reduce the capacitance of the capacitor.
The TH3B106K016C2000 tantalum capacitor is a reliable and efficient option for applications that require high capacitance values in a space-limited environment. Its long life expectancy and low ESR make it an excellent choice for high frequency applications, and its ability to handle high temperatures and current makes it a good choice for automotive electronics.
