Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are components used for regulating an electrical circuit’s power. They are used in electronics such as radios, computers, televisions, and other devices that require reliable power control. Tantalum capacitors are so named because they are made of a lightly-doped form of the metal tantalum. This type of capacitor is the most popular type for consumer electronics because it is both reliable and relatively inexpensive.

The M39003/01-5020 is a high temperature, surface-mount, tantalum capacitor. It is designed to better control the power flow in consumer electronics. This capacitor is especially useful in applications where extreme temperatures are present or potential. It can be used in temperatures up to 150 degrees Celsius, or 302 Fahrenheit.

The basic working principle of this tantalum capacitor is fairly simple. The capacitor is made up of two layers of material - an anode and a cathode. The cathode is the positive terminal while the anode is the negative terminal. When current is applied to the capacitor, a charge builds up in the anode layer due to the attraction of electrons to the anode. When the anode layer reaches its maximum charge, the current flow stops.

The M39003/01-5020 tantalum capacitor is used in numerous applications, such as for DC-DC Converters, Automotive, Military, Aerospace, Power Supplies, and Personal Communication Systems. Tantalum capacitors are often used as bypass and energy storage capacitors. They provide a temporary surge of current to various components of the electronic circuit, therefore delivering noise reduction, lost energy recovery, and stability. Furthermore, tantalum capacitors are ideal for high frequency applications and provide a low equivalent series resistance (ESR).

Tantalum capacitors are also used in high current and low voltage applications. This type of capacitor is used to regulate and store energy quickly and efficiently. They are often used in power supplies of computers, televisions, electronic control systems, and other consumer electronics. The M39003/01-5020 is a reliable and cost-effective choice for these applications.
