# Introduction to the T525D476M Product Series
## Overview
The T525D476M product series represents a cutting - edge line of electronic components that have been engineered to meet the diverse and demanding requirements of modern electronic applications. These components are designed with precision and built to deliver high - performance, reliability, and efficiency, making them a top choice for engineers and designers across various industries.
## Product Type and Function
The T525D476M series primarily consists of tantalum polymer capacitors. Capacitors are fundamental components in electronic circuits, and tantalum polymer capacitors, in particular, offer unique advantages. Their main function is to store and release electrical energy. They can smooth out voltage fluctuations in a circuit, filter out unwanted electrical noise, and provide a stable power supply to sensitive electronic components. This is crucial for the proper operation of devices, as even small voltage variations can lead to malfunctions or reduced performance.
## Key Specifications
### Capacitance
The "476" in the T525D476M model number indicates a capacitance value. In the capacitor naming convention, this translates to a capacitance of 47 μF (microfarads). This relatively high capacitance value allows the capacitor to store a significant amount of electrical charge, making it suitable for applications that require large amounts of energy storage or rapid charge - discharge cycles.
### Voltage Rating
The series is designed to handle specific voltage levels. The voltage rating is carefully selected to ensure that the capacitor can operate safely and reliably within the intended electrical environment. This rating is crucial as exceeding the voltage limit can lead to capacitor failure, which may cause damage to the entire electronic circuit.
### Tolerance
The "M" in the model number represents the tolerance of the capacitance value. In this case, it typically indicates a tolerance of ±20%. This means that the actual capacitance of the capacitor may vary within 20% of the stated 47 μF value. While this may seem like a relatively wide range, it is within acceptable limits for many applications, and the capacitor is still able to perform its intended function effectively.
### Temperature Range
The T525D476M series is designed to operate within a specific temperature range. This is important because temperature can have a significant impact on the performance and lifespan of a capacitor. The capacitors in this series are engineered to maintain their electrical characteristics over a wide temperature range, ensuring reliable operation in various environmental conditions, from cold industrial settings to hot and humid outdoor environments.
## Advantages
### Low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR)
One of the key advantages of the T525D476M series is its low ESR. ESR is a measure of the internal resistance of a capacitor. A low ESR value means that the capacitor can charge and discharge more efficiently, resulting in less power loss and heat generation. This is particularly important in high - frequency applications, where reducing power loss and heat is crucial for the overall performance and reliability of the circuit.
### High Ripple Current Capability
The series has a high ripple current capability. Ripple current is the alternating current component that flows through a capacitor in a circuit. Capacitors with high ripple current capabilities can handle larger amounts of alternating current without overheating or degrading. This makes the T525D476M series suitable for applications such as power supplies, where large ripple currents are common.
### Long Lifespan
The use of high - quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes in the T525D476M series ensures a long lifespan. This reduces the need for frequent component replacement, which can save time and cost in the long run. Additionally, a long - lasting capacitor contributes to the overall reliability of the electronic device, reducing the risk of system failures.
