Tantalum capacitors are electronic components containing a tantalum oxide-based electrolytic and two electrodes. The TH3D107M010C0600 is one type of tantalum capacitor. It is a non-polarized device with a capacitance of 10 μF and a voltage rating of 6.3 V.

Application Field

Tantalum capacitors are widely used in digital, radio frequency, and power electronics applications due to the superior properties of the tantalum material. The TH3D107M010C0600 is used in snubbers and spike suppressors, making it an ideal choice for power supply stabilization and filtering. It is also suitable for use in signal coupling and signal filtering. Furthermore, it is commonly used as a bypass capacitor in instrumentation, telecommunication, automotive and medical devices.

Working Principle

The TH3D107M010C0600 capacitor has a tantalum anode and a cathode. The anode and cathode are separated by a tantalum oxide (Ta2O5) dielectric layer. The anode oxidizes during charging, providing a layer of insulating tantalum oxide. This layer increases in thickness when the capacitor is charged, which increases the capacitance of the device. Under discharge, the anode oxidizes and the oxide layer reduces its size, decreasing the capacitance.

Tantalum capacitors are polarized and should never be used as a bypass capacitor between two power sources. This is because the oxide layer separates the anode from the cathode and prevents any loss of charge to the environment. If a tantalum capacitor is connected between two power sources, it will be irreversibly damaged and will not recover its original state.

The TH3D107M010C0600 tantalum capacitor is a low-profile device, measuring in at 3 mm x 7 mm. It has a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and is available in various capacitance values ranging from 0.047 μF to 10 μF. The device also has an a very low equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 10 Ω at 1 kHz.

In conclusion, the TH3D107M010C0600 tantalum capacitor has a wide range of applications in digital, radio frequency, and power electronics applications due to its unique properties. It is a non-polarized device with a capacitance of 10 μF, a voltage rating of 6.3 V, and a temperature range of -55° to +125°.
