Tantalum Capacitors

A tantalum capacitor is an electronic component used when great capacitance is needed in a relatively small space. It is also useful when the circuit has an operating voltage of up to several hundred volts. The singular term tantalum is derived from the ancient Greek mythology character Tantalus. The metal tantalum is named after Tantalus as a result of his inventing the metal.

A tantalum capacitor consists of two electrodes separated by a dielectric material. The cathode is a tantalum pellet which serves as the anode while the anode is made from a layer of metal oxide. This layer of metal oxide gives it higher capacitance than other types of capacitors and also provides excellent reliability.

The application of a tantalum capacitor is dependent on the design of the circuit in which it is used. Typically, such capacitors are used in circuits where large amounts of power must be stored, such as those used in high power amplifiers, power supplies, and other electronic devices. Additionally, tantalum capacitors are often used in low power circuits where smaller amounts of energy must be stored for short periods of time.

The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is simple. The electrostatic charge stored on the electrodes creates a potential difference between them, thus creating an electric field. When an alternating current is passed through the circuit, the charge is stored in the capacitor and the magnitude of the voltage at the electrodes will be determined by the amount of charge stored in the capacitor. The amount of charge that can be stored in the capacitor is determined by the size of the capacitor and the resistance of the dielectric material.
