# Introduction to the T322E226K035AT Product Series
## Overview
The T322E226K035AT product series represents a cutting - edge line of electronic components that are designed to meet the diverse and demanding requirements of modern electronic systems. These components are engineered with precision and incorporate advanced technologies to deliver high - performance, reliability, and efficiency.
## Key Features
### Capacitance and Tolerance
- **Capacitance Value**: The "226" in the model number indicates a capacitance of 22 μF (microfarads). This relatively high capacitance value makes the T322E226K035AT suitable for applications where significant charge storage and energy buffering are required. For example, in power supply circuits, it can help smooth out voltage fluctuations and provide a stable power source to sensitive electronic components.
- **Tolerance**: The "K" represents a capacitance tolerance of ±10%. This level of tolerance ensures that the actual capacitance of the component will be within 10% of the specified 22 μF value. It allows for a certain degree of variation while still maintaining the overall performance and functionality of the circuit in which it is used.
### Voltage Rating
The "035" in the model number indicates a voltage rating of 35V. This means that the T322E226K035AT can safely operate in circuits where the voltage does not exceed 35V. It provides a reliable option for low - to medium - voltage applications, such as in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, and industrial control systems.
### Temperature Stability
These components are designed to offer excellent temperature stability. They can operate effectively over a wide temperature range, typically from - 55°C to +125°C. This wide temperature tolerance makes them suitable for use in harsh environments, including automotive under - the - hood applications, where temperatures can vary significantly.
### Low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR)
The T322E226K035AT series features a low ESR. A low ESR is crucial as it reduces power losses and heat generation within the component. In high - frequency applications, such as in switching power supplies, a low ESR capacitor can improve the efficiency of the circuit, reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), and enhance the overall performance of the system.
## Physical Characteristics
### Package Size
The T322E226K035AT comes in a standardized package size that is designed for easy integration into printed circuit boards (PCBs). The compact size allows for high - density PCB layouts, which is essential in modern electronic devices where space is often limited.
### Terminal Configuration
The component has a well - defined terminal configuration that ensures proper electrical connection and mechanical stability on the PCB. The terminals are designed to provide a low - resistance path for current flow, minimizing signal loss and improving the overall electrical performance of the circuit.
## Applications
### Power Supply Circuits
In power supply units (PSUs), the T322E226K035AT can be used as a filter capacitor. It helps to smooth out the DC output voltage by storing and releasing electrical energy, reducing ripple voltage and providing a clean and stable power supply to the load. This is particularly important in sensitive electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, and medical equipment.
### Automotive Electronics
In automotive applications, these capacitors can be used in various systems, including engine control units (ECUs), infotainment systems, and lighting control modules. Their wide temperature range and high reliability make them suitable for withstanding the harsh conditions inside a vehicle, such as high temperatures, vibrations, and electrical noise.
### Industrial Control Systems
Industrial control systems often require components that can operate reliably
