TPSD686M016R0070

Tantalum capacitors, also known as tantalum electrolytic capacitors, are electrolytic capacitors with tantalum as their anode material and electrolyte as their cathode. The TPSD686M016R0070 capacitor is a low-profile version of a standard tantalum capacitor, designed to fit easily onto tight circuit boards. It has an extended voltage range, a low maximum temperature rise, a low equivalent series resistance, and an operating temperature range between -55 and 125 degrees Celsius.

TPSD686M016R0070 Application Field:

TPSD686M016R0070 capacitors are used in energy storage applications such as filtering circuits, energy storage circuits, and so on. They are especially useful in applications where the size of the component is critically important, such as in mobile phones, laptops, and automotive electronics. Because of its low-profile nature, it is well-suited to tight circuits where large tantalum capacitors are impractical or too aesthetically distracting. They also offer a reliable and cost-effective solution where high-reliability capacitors are needed in environments where temperature, shock, and vibration are factors.

TPSD686M016R0070 Working Principle:

Like all electrolytic capacitors, TPSD686M016R0070 works by using the electrolysis of a solution (electrolyte), an anode and a cathode. In this case, the anode is a metal film made from Tantalum and the electrolyte is an acid solution. The metal film is the cathode, and when a voltage is applied to the two metal contacts, electrons flow through the electrolyte solution, enabling current to flow between them. This current creates a static electric field in the electrolyte, which attracts and stores charge.

The capacitance of the TPSD686M016R0070 capacitor is determined by the surface area of the metal film, and the amount of electrolyte. The low profile version of the capacitor has a smaller total volume and hence a lower capacitance. This is why they are used in mobile phones and laptops, where space is at a premium.

In addition to its low-profile size, TPSD686M016R0070 capacitors also feature an extended voltage range, a low maximum temperature rise, a low equivalent series resistance, and an operating temperature range between -55 and 125 degrees Celsius. These features make it suitable for many applications, from automotive electronics to medical implants, where other types of capacitors may not be ideal.
