Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum Capacitors are discrete components that offer both high capacitance and high reliability. Characterized by their non-polarity, these capacitors are typically used as decoupling capacitors. They are widely used in consumer electronics and automotive applications due to their small size, high voltage capabilities and low ESR.

TPSD476K016R0150 is a tantalum capacitor manufactured by AVX Corporation. It has a capacitance of 470uF and a maximum operating voltage of 16V. In addition, it is a non-polarized electrolytic capacitance, which makes it more suitable for applications such as decoupling, filtering and energy storage applications.

Application field

TPSD476K016R0150 can be used in a wide range of applications, including consumer electronic devices, automotive applications and power supplies. It is commonly used in applications such as TV receivers, personal music devices, notebook computers and digital cameras due to its high capacitance and low ESR. It is also suitable for automotive applications, such as braking systems, suspension systems and lighting systems.

Working Principle

The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is based on Faraday\'s law of electrolytic conduction. When a voltage is applied across its two electrodes, the electrolyte solution interacts with a porous tantalum skeleton to create an electric field. This electric field creates an opposing electric field, effectively storing energy in the form of an electric field. Depending on the application, the voltage needed to create the electric field will vary.

When the voltage is applied to the capacitor, electrons are attracted to the positive electrode, creating a high negative charge. At the same time, positively charged ions are drawn to the negative electrode and form an opposing charge, resulting in a net charge. This charge is stored in the capacitor, resulting in a capacitance.

When the voltage is no longer applied, the charge slowly dissipates due to the resistance of the capacitor and the electrolyte. This means that the capacitor acts as a “time constant”, releasing energy in a predictable fashion.
