Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are an important class of electrical components used for decoupling, filtering and bypassing of both digital and analog signals. This type of capacitor is often found in the form of a cylindrical package, known as a tantalum bead, which may be further enclosed in a plastic sleeve for protection. Due to their robust construction, tantalum capacitors are ideally suited to extreme environments such as those encountered in the automotive, aerospace, military and medical industries.

Unlike other types of capacitors, tantalum capacitors use a conductive oxide dielectric to store charge. The oxide layer allows for higher capacitance values and better stability at high temperatures compared to other capacitors. Due to these benefits, tantalum capacitors have become an important part of many electrical and electronic systems.

The TM3C106K016CBA is a type of tantalum capacitor. It is a high-precision device that has been designed for use in high-frequency applications, where an accurate output voltage is of the utmost importance. The main application fields for this capacitor include CATV and satellite transmission systems, high-end audio systems, and high-voltage DC to AC power supplies. This capacitor is ideally suited for such applications as it has a very tight tolerance rate of 1%, and can be used in temperatures up to 105°C.

In terms of working principle, the TM3C106K016CBA operates by creating an electric field between two plates, which store charge and create an electrical current. This current is used to provide a steady output voltage and is designed to dissipate very little power over time. This efficiency means that the capacitor can be used in environments where power consumption must be tightly controlled.

The TM3C106K016CBA capacitor is an excellent choice for those applications where precision and stability are key requirements. Its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and dissipate very little power makes it attractive for highly specialized tasks, such as CATV and satellite transmission systems and high-end audio systems.
