THJC335K035RJN Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are small capacitors used in automotive, radio, telecommunications, computers and other electronics. They are available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 0805 and 1206 case sizes for surface mount parts to radial leaded chips for through-hole mounting. The THJC335K035RJN tantalum capacitor is a long life, low leakage, solid electrolytic surface mount device.

Tantalum capacitors are often used in applications where high reliability is needed, such as aerospace applications. When compared to aluminum electrolytic capacitors, tantalum capacitors are more reliable and less prone to failure under shock and vibration. They also have a much lower leakage current than aluminum capacitors, making them suitable for use in power supply filtering. Tantalum capacitors have higher capacitance values than aluminum capacitors, but they have longer lead times and higher costs associated with them.

The THJC335K035RJN tantalum capacitor is a surface mount, through-hole device that is available in an EIA 5352 case size. The case size provides a lead spacing of 0.5”, which is compatible with most modern PCB design layouts. The capacitor is rated with a rated voltage of 16 VDC, an electrolyte capacity of 330 mF, a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, and a ripple current of 440 mA. The device is also RoHS compliant. Its ESR rating is low, making it suitable for use in applications where low ESR is required.

The working principle of a tantalum capacitor relies on the electrochemical properties of the tantalum anode. The tantalum anode is immersed in a layer of electrolyte. When an electrical current is applied between the anode and the cathode, current flows through the electrolyte and causes a charge to build up on the anode. This charge is then stored as electrical energy on the anode, forming the capacitance of the capacitor. The dielectric of the device is formed by a thin layer of tantalum oxide.

The THJC335K035RJN is suitable for use in a variety of applications, including decoupling and bypassing, power supplies, battery packs, computing and telecommunications equipment, and in other high-reliability applications. Its high capacitance, low ESR, and long life make it suitable for use in many demanding applications.
