Tantalum Capacitors

TH3C106M016E1400 application field and working principle

A tantalum capacitor is an electronic component specifically designed to store electrical charge. It is commonly used in portable and hand-held electronic equipment due to its robust construction, small size and light weight. Some of the most popular applications of tantalum capacitors are circuit noise suppression, electronic filters, power supply smoothing, and regulating current ripple.

TH3C106M016E1400, manufactured by Vishay, is a special type of tantalum capacitor. It has an operating temperature of up to 125 °C and features an electrostatic discharge protection up to 1,000 volts. This type of capacitor has an extremely low profile, with a total height of just 0.315", making it suitable for devices with space constraints. TH3C106M016E1400 has a capacitance of 10 μF and a capacitance tolerance of ±10%.

The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is based on the fact that, when a voltage is applied to its positive and negative terminals, an electric field forms, which causes electrical charges of opposite sign to be deposited on the two metal plates inside the capacitor. The capacitance of the capacitor is controlled by the amount of electrical charge stored. When the applied voltage is removed, the charges remain stored, allowing the capacitor to maintain the voltage and power the device.

In summary, TH3C106M016E1400 tantalum capacitor is an ideal choice for designers looking for an efficient way to store electrical energy for their devices. Its low profile, high temperature resistance and Electrostatic Discharge rating make it an excellent choice for portable and hand-held electronic equipment.
