Tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitors, which offer benefits to users over other types of capacitors, such as high capacitance, high frequency performance, and a wide range of working voltages. TR3D227K010C0100 is a popular tantalum capacitor which is widely used in different applications times, and here is an overview of its application field and working principle.

Application Field

TR3D227K010C0100 is a molded, solid-electrolytic, chip-type, surface-mount capacitor which offers excellent stability over time, temperature and frequency. It is specifically designed for low-profile applications requiring increased capacitance with a small size.

Typical applications include decoupling, noise bypass, filtering, and AC ripple control in automotive, consumer, industrial and telecom systems. TR3D227K010C0100 is proven to be an outstanding choice for electronic circuit designs, especially in small spaces or place restrictions.

Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors contain a dielectric oxide layer, a sintered anode made of tantalum and a porous cathode. The oxide layer serves as a separator between the anode and the cathode, and consists of a combination of tantalum and niobium. Niobium is added to stabilize the dielectric and improves the permittivity of the oxide.

The anode acts like a conventional capacitive component, one plate of the component between which an electric field builds up. The anode plate stores electric charges, and when voltage is applied, it becomes either attractively charged or repelled by the other plate. The cathode plate, made up of a porous material, absorbs and hold the liquid electrolyte which carries charges from the anode to the other plate.

When current flows between the plates, the charge state of the capacitive component increases and decreases depending on the voltage applied to the component. The higher the voltage, the larger the capacitance of the component and the larger current will flow between the plates. The combination of the anode, a dielectric oxide layer separator, and cathode allows for a high capacitance in TR3D227K010C0100 even with its small size.

Conclusion

TR3D227K010C0100 is a popular small-size tantalum capacitor that is widely used in various applications. It features a low-profile construction and high capacitance, making it suitable for applications in automotive, consumer, industrial and telecom systems. The working principle involves a combination of an anode, a dielectric oxide layer separator, and a cathode which allows for the capacitor to exhibit large capacitance in spite of its size.
