Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are electrical components that store electrical energy. They are made from a tantalum oxide-based conductive material and a valve metal which serve as anelectrolyte. These capacitors provide advantages over other types of capacitor, such as low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and high capacitance values in a small footprint.

TPSW476K010R0125 is a series of tantalum capacitor with a 10V rating. It has very low ESR and is capable of withstanding extreme temperature and humidity conditions. This series of capacitors can be used in both surface mount and through-hole applications.

Application Field and Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors are being used in a wide range of applications, ranging from consumer electronics to medical and industrial applications. Due to their high levels of performance and reliability, these capacitors are also being used in military, aerospace and automotive applications.

The primary application of TPSW476K010R0125 is use in high frequency switching circuits, where they can be used as the main power source or to reduce the ripple current. Their low ESR and high capacitance, combined with their small footprint, make them ideal for applications where space is at a premium.

The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is based on the principle of electrostatic induction. The two metal plates in the device act as electrical conductors, separated by a dielectric material, usually tantalum oxide. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, a current is created through the electrolyte. This current creates an electrostatic field and charges the capacitor\'s plates accordingly.

When the capacitance of a tantalum capacitor is specified, it is the equivalent capacitance measured at a sinusoidal frequency of 1 kHz and 25°C. It is also worth noting that the capacitance values may vary slightly with temperature and frequency. This variation is part of the normal performance characteristics of the capacitor.

Conclusion

TPSW476K010R0125 is a series of extremely reliable and high performing tantalum capacitors. Their low ESR and high capacitance values make them ideal for many high frequency and power applications, such as in consumer electronics, medical equipment, and automotive applications. The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is based on electrostatic induction and the capacitance values may vary slightly with temperature and frequency.
