Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors often referred to as poly tantalum capacitors, are capacitors which use tantalum metal for the electrodes for electrostatic capacities. Tantalum capacitors are some of the smallest capacitors available which makes them very popular in space-limited applications. These capacitors come in surface mount varieties which allow for easy application in tight places.

The M39003/01-2499/HSD is a tantalum capacitor that utilizes a high-density, anodized MnO2 electrolyte which increases the temperature rating and makes it well suitable for automated board-level and device-level soldering processes. The M39003/01-2499/HSD also exhibits excellent performance in low-voltage applications with its wide-range capabilities.

The application of the M39003/01-2499/HSD capacitor is primarily related to the improvement of the impedance characteristics due to the high-density electrolyte. The vibrant voltage capabilities makes it a great choice for power lines and other demanding applications. Additionally, it is ideal for use in de-coupling, filtering, energy storage, and smoothing circuits.

The M39003/01-2499/HSD capacitor works in a very simple way when used in a circuit. When the capacitor is connected to a battery it behaves like a closed switch which means that the current cannot pass through it and it stores the electrical charge. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, it allows current to pass through it and the current builds up until it reaches a predetermined level. Once the predetermined level has been reached, the capacitor acts like an open switch, preventing further current flow.

Tantalum capacitors are small, reliable components that are extremely useful in a variety of applications. The M39003/01-2499/HSD and other tantalum capacitors are commonly used in portable electronics, medical equipment, telecommunications, aerospace, automotive, and military systems. The exceptional temperature performance and low leakage current make them a great choice for many applications.
