M39003/01-2861

Tantalum capacitors are widely used in electronic equipment and assemblies for their reliability, size, and value. They are also a favorite of mobile device manufacturers due to their ability to fit in small-form-factor devices. The M39003/01-2861 is an example of a military-grade tantalum capacitor that is designed to meet the stringent vibration requirements of defense applications. It is capable of withstanding extreme shock and vibration environments and is available in various form factors and sizes.

The M39003/01-2861 capacitor is a standard rectangular case with long leads for easy solderability. It has a radial-leaded feature for easy mounting and can be stacked with other like capacitors to increase capacitance. The case provides excellent electrical insulation and the hermetic seal prevents moisture from entering the capacitor case. The capacitor has a surface-mount construction, which increases the reliability and reduces the size of the capacitor.

The working principle of the M39003/01-2861 capacitor is the same as any other capacitor. It stores electrical energy in the form of an electric field between two conductive plates separated by a dielectric material. In the case of the M39003/01-2861, the dielectric is a tantalum powder, which is compressed between two metal plates. When an electric current is applied, the metal plates accumulate charges that attract the opposite charges of the tantalum powder.

The M39003/01-2861 capacitor is designed to meet the MIL-STD-202G specification for shock, vibration, and temperature. It is capable of withstanding operating temperatures up to 105°C and nominal capacitance values up to 10µF.Due to its rugged construction and long lead, the M39003/01-2861 capacitor is commonly used in aerospace, medical, and military applications. It is also used in commercial applications such as DC-DC power supplies, automotive electronics, and various switching power supplies where severe environmental conditions exist.

In summary, the M39003/01-2861 capacitor is an ideal choice for demanding applications that require reliable performance under extreme conditions. Its hermetically sealed case provides excellent protection against moisture and dust and its radial-leaded feature allows for easy mounting and stacking. The M39003/01-2861 capacitor is an ideal choice for applications requiring high reliability and long lead life.
