Additional Details

The TPSA224M050R7000 has a capacitance value of 220nF (0.22µF) with a tolerance of ±20%. Its voltage rating is 50V DC. The capacitor is designed for reflow soldering processes. Tantalum capacitors are known for their volumetric efficiency, meaning they offer a high capacitance-to-volume ratio compared to other capacitor types. ESR is a critical parameter, especially in high-frequency applications. The lower the ESR, the better the capacitor performs in reducing ripple and noise. This particular capacitor is commonly used in power supply filtering and decoupling applications where stable and reliable performance is required. The TPSA series from AVX is designed to meet or exceed industry standards for reliability and performance. The operating temperature range typically spans from -55°C to +125°C, making them suitable for industrial environments. Proper derating of the voltage is recommended to ensure long-term reliability. The termination finish is typically matte tin, which provides excellent solderability.
