Tantalum capacitors are a type of capacitor that is designed with a tantalum metal plate, which is then electrically charged and used to store energy. This type of capacitor is mostly used for signal processing applications or in situations where a very small amount of capacitance is required. The term "tantalum capacitor" is also used to refer to an electrochemical capacitor that uses a tantalum electrolyte in order to increase capacitance. A tantalum capacitor generally has a voltage rating of between five and ten volts.

The most common form of a tantalum capacitor is a solid-tantalum electrolytic capacitor, which is made from a thin metal plate of tantalum, plus an electrolyte, which is typically composed of aluminum sulfate in water. This electrolyte acts as the dielectric, while the tantalum plate serves as a storage medium for electric charges. The layer of dielectric provides good insulation between the two plates, allowing for a low equivalent series resistance (ESR). The tantalum capacitor also has a high power density and generally low self-inductance.

The main application of the tantalum capacitor is in power systems, where small and reliable capacitors are needed. These capacitors can also be used in radio frequency (RF) signal processing applications to filter out unwanted signals. The capacitor also offers a high degree of temperature stability which makes it suitable for industrial applications, where temperatures extremes can often be encountered. The most commonly used capacitors in these types of applications are the tantalum electrodialysis capacitors (TED), which have a higher voltage rating than other types of capacitors.

The working principle of a Tantalum capacitor is that the layer of dielectric material between the two plates allows for the movement of electrical charges, which are the same in both directions. This charge movement is then used to store electric energy, in a manner similar to that in an ordinary resistor. The stored charge is released when a current is applied to the capacitor, which creates an electrical current. This current is then used to provide power to an electrical device or a circuit.

Tantalum capacitors are becoming increasingly popular due to their advantages over other types of capacitors, such as their small size and low cost. They also have a longer life span than other types of capacitors and are capable of operating in extreme environmental conditions. The tantalum capacitor is also rated for higher voltages than some other types of capacitors, which makes it an ideal choice for power systems and RF applications. However, since they are not as reliable as other types of capacitors, they may not be suited for all applications.
