The 4.7uF 16V Tantalum Capacitor ±10% Tolerance is a high-performance polarized capacitor designed for applications that require stable capacitance, low leakage current, and reliable long-term operation. With a capacitance value of 4.7 microfarads (µF) and a maximum operating voltage of 16 volts DC, this capacitor is widely used in power management, signal processing, and decoupling circuits across a variety of electronic devices.
Tantalum capacitors are known for their excellent electrical characteristics and compact size. Compared to many aluminum electrolytic capacitors, they provide a higher capacitance-to-volume ratio, allowing designers to save valuable PCB space while maintaining dependable performance. The ±10% tolerance ensures that the actual capacitance remains within a predictable range, making the capacitor suitable for circuits that require consistent and stable operation.
The capacitor uses tantalum metal as the anode and a thin layer of tantalum pentoxide as the dielectric material. This construction provides low leakage current, excellent stability over temperature variations, and long service life. Due to these advantages, tantalum capacitors are frequently used in modern electronic equipment where reliability is critical.
