M39003/01-2641

Tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitors used in many different applications and consist of two electrodes, an anode and a cathode, which are connected by an electrolyte. The M39003/01-2641 is a type of tantalum capacitor that is highly utilized due to its durability and low leakage current. This capacitor is a polar device, meaning that there is a designated anode and cathode for it to be used in. The M39003/01-2641 mostly features a cylindrical design with its lead as the anode and the metal case as the cathode.

This capacitor works on the principle of an electrolytic capacitor, where an electric potential is created when an electric charge is stored in one of the two electrodes. When a voltage is applied between each of the electrodes, the electric field causes a current to flow through the electrolyte. This current causes a chemical reaction, forming an oxide layer on the anode, which acts as a dielectric material. This layer has a higher dielectric constant than other materials, which means that more charge can be stored in the capacitor.

The M39003/01-2641 capacitor is a concentric cylindrical device that is used in both military and commercial-grade applications. It is configured to have a radial lead with three standard lead pitches of 0.100”, 0.150”, and 0.200”. Furthermore, the lead size of the capacitor also has two variations of 0.020” and 0.032”. It is also designed to operate in temperatures from -55°C to +125°C and has higher voltage ratings as compared to other same-sized capacitors.

M39003/01-2641 capacitors are also suitable for use in a wide variety of application fields, including in telecommunications, automotive, power conditioning, data storage, and more. It has become a favorite among many engineers due to its high-frequency performance, low ESR values, and low leakage current. Additionally, this capacitor is also widely used in defense and space applications due to its high-temperature operating range and exceptional performance.

In conclusion, the M39003/01-2641 portable tantalum capacitors are considered as one of the best in the market due to their high performance, low ESR values, and low leakage current. As stated earlier, these capacitors can be utilized in a wide variety of applications, ranging from telecommunications to defense and space applications. Overall, they are an indispensable component in many electrical systems.
