The vibration resistance allows them to be used in applications that require shock or vibration, such as automotive applications.

The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is based on a similar principle to electrolytic capacitors. A thin dielectric layer is formed between two electrodes, known as the anode and the cathode. A tantalum ribbon serves as the anode while the cathode is typically composed of metal. When a voltage is applied, electric charge accumulates on both the anode and the cathode, forming a capacitor. Generally, tantalum capacitors have higher capacitances than other types due to their thin dielectric layers.

The 173D336X9025YE3 capacitor is a flexible component with a variety of applications. In addition to being suitable for filtering and higher temperatures, it also offers increased reliability, making it an excellent choice for any application where reliability is important. The component\'s RoHS compliant status also makes it a great choice for environmentally conscious designers.
