13008-062MESB

Tantalum Capacitors

The 13008-062MESB is a type of tantalum capacitor, typically used in circuit boards. The tantalum capacitor is made of a small solid sliver of tantalum metal with a thin coating of oxide for insulation. The capacitor is usually encased in a solid cylindrical or rectangular case.

Application Field

Tantalum capacitors are one of the most popular types of capacitors used in circuit boards today, due to their ability to handle high currents with very little voltage change. They are usually used in applications such as power supply filtering, microprocessor power supplies, and in high-voltage circuits, as well as in automation and control systems, communication systems, computing engines, digital systems, and other electronic equipment.

The 13008-062MESB has a wide range of applications, ranging from low-level switchgear to high-power systems. It is suitable for a variety of operating conditions, from low humidity up to 100% relative humidity. Some applications may require special spacers and capacitors to increase the stability. In addition, this model is suitable for aerospace applications, military applications, and other extreme conditions.

Working Principle

The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is based on the principle of electrochemical polarization. When a voltage is applied across the capacitor, the encapsulating solid electrolyte permits an electric current to flow through the electrolyte from the positive to the negative terminal of the capacitor. As current flows between the electrodes, a charges are stored in the electrodes.

The electrical energy is stored in the form of an electrostatic field between the two electrodes. The voltage across the terminals is maintained until the capacitance reaches a level at which the voltage can no longer be applied. The amount of charge stored by the capacitor is determined by its capacitance or capacitive reactance, which is determined by the materials used and the dimensions of the wound elements.
