Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are an electrical type of capacitor which uses tantalum as the dielectric material. These capacitors can be either polarized or non-polarized. It is one of the most commonly used capacitor types today, due to its high capacitance-to-volume ratio, low leakage current, good stability, and robustness. In this section, we will discuss the application field and working principle of TPSD226K035H0300.

Application Field

TPSD226K035H0300 is one of the most popularly used tantalum capacitor packages due to its high reliability and excellent performance. It is widely used in industrial, automotive, aerospace, defense, and telecommunications applications. The capacitor is most commonly found in power supplies, filters, timing circuits, output stages, resonant circuits, and amplifier output settings.

Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors have a simple yet effective construction. They are made up of two terminals anchored to a solid bead of tantalum powder. The tantalum powder is pressed and then sintered between two metal electrodes, forming a dielectric barrier between them. During operation, the terminals of the capacitor are connected to a DC voltage source, causing an electric charge to accumulate on the surface of the tantalum powder. This electrical charge accumulates on the surface of the tantalum powder until the capacitor is at full charge, and then a current is supplied to the capacitor to maintain a steady voltage across it. This process is known as “polarization” and it is the process that gives tantalum capacitors their excellent performance and stability.

Conclusion

Tantalum capacitors are popularly used components in many applications. The TPSD226K035H0300 is a reliable and excellent performing tantalum capacitor package which can be found in many industrial, automotive, aerospace, defense, and telecommunications applications. The capacitor is made up of two terminals with a solid bead of tantalum powder between them. During operation, a polarization process occurs to give the capacitor its high performance and stability.
