Tantalum Capacitors

M39003/01-2255/HSD Application Field and Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors, specifically the M39003/01-2255/HSD series, are widely used in military and commercial electronic systems. Predominantly used in power supply and decoupling designs, these capacitors offer the high capacitance and high temperature stability required in many applications.

Tantalum capacitors are built with both an anode and a cathode. The cathode is formed by using a dielectric material that acts as an insulator between them. Under the application of an electric field, a voltage difference is created between the two materials, causing them to attract each other and form a capacitor. This principle creates the basic functioning of a capacitor, which can be used for energy storage and as part of an electrical system to help with signal filtering.

The M39003/01-2255/HSD series of capacitors is designed for high temperature operation in environments up to 105°C and offers superior capacitance values up to 680uF and a variety of voltage and tolerance options. This series of capacitors also uses tantalum oxide as its dielectric, giving it superior stability, insulating abilities, and extremely low leakage. This makes it ideal for power supply designs.

With features such as low ESR, excellent frequency stability, good temperature stability, excellent high-temperature performance, and superior heat resistance, the M39003/01-2255/HSD capacitors are perfect for use in military and commercial electronic systems. As such, they are widely used in a variety of applications, ranging from military vehicles to consumer electronics.

Tantalum capacitors can be used in both AC and DC circuits. When used in AC circuits, they are mainly used for signal filtering as the capacitance of a tantalum capacitor will remain constant over a wide frequency range. When used in DC circuits, they are most commonly used as energy storage components, where the charge stores energy in the form of electrostatic potential. This stored potential can then be used to provide power to other components in the circuit.

Tantalum capacitors are extremely reliable and have a long life span, making them a great choice for a variety of applications. By employing the M39003/01-2255/HSD series of capacitors, engineers are able to achieve high temperature performance and the necessary capacitance values all in one convenient package.
