Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are electrolytic capacitors that use the porous tantalum anode with a very thin oxide layer as a dielectric. A plate of tantalum metal serves as the positive terminal of the capacitor. This is surrounded by an electrolyte and another metallic plate, usually of aluminum connected to the negative terminals. Tantalum capacitors were developed to provide a solution for the limitations of other electrolytic capacitors, and is able to combine a very high capacitance in relatively small sizes, high operating temperatures, and reliability.

M39003/01-3089H Application Field

The M39003/01-3089H is specifically designed to provide high performance in applications where reliability, volumetric efficiency and temperature characteristics are required. The M39003/01-3089H is a radial-leaded, solid tantalum surface-mount capacitor. It is especially suited for military and avionics applications.

M39003/01-3089H Working Principle

M39003/01-3089H working principle is based on the same principles as other tantalum capacitors. The first principle is the dielectric principle, which is based on the thin oxide layer that forms between the anode of tantalum and its electrolyte. This oxide layer acts as a dielectric, or insulative barrier, between the two terminals, storing electric charge when voltage is applied to the capacitor.

The second principle is the diffusion principle, which states that charge can also be stored through the diffusion of ions through the electrolyte, allowing the capacitor to charge and discharge quickly. This is also the principle behind electrolytic capacitors. The two principles combine to allow the M39003/01-3089H to offer high levels of performance.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the M39003/01-3089H is designed to provide high performance in applications that require reliable, volumetric efficiency and temperature characteristics. Its working principle is based on the dielectric and diffusion principles, which combine to make it one of the most reliable and efficient capacitors in its class.
