M39003/01-5226/HSD

Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are a popular form of surface-mount capacitor, thanks to their low profile, small size, and high capacitance to volume ratio. The M39003/01-5226/HSD tantalum capacitor is no exception, boasting higher reliability and higher capacitance than previous generations of tantalum capacitors.

Application Areas & Working Principles

The M39003/01-5226/HSD tantalum capacitor is used in a wide variety of applications, including communications, medical, and military. It is suitable for conditions with extreme temperature variations and difficult operating conditions, and is especially well suited for use in high voltage and high frequency applications.

Tantalum capacitors work similarly to aluminum electrolytic capacitors in that they store electrical charge in an atomized film and then transfer that charge to an external circuit. The difference between tantalum and aluminum capacitors lies in the type of film used. Tantalum capacitors use a form of tantalum pentoxide as the dielectric, while aluminum electrolytic capacitors use an oxide of aluminum foil. Since the former is more stable at high temperatures, it is better suited for applications requiring higher temperature or higher vibration resistance.

In general, the M39003/01-5226/HSD offers greater tolerance to temperature and vibration than other conventional tantalum capacitors, making the capacitor well suited for use in a variety of applications. Additionally, the M39003/01-5226/HSD features a hermetically sealed case, thus providing greater protection from shock and vibration, and helping to ensure higher capacitance retention over the course of its life.

The M39003/01-5226/HSD is typically used in electronic devices such as telecommunications, computers, defense, and aerospace applications. It is often chosen for its ability to withstand higher temperature and vibration than other capacitors, and due to its robust construction, vibration resistance, and extended lifetimes.

Tantalum capacitors are also often specified for use in extreme environments. This is because tantalum oxide is a much more stable dielectric than aluminum oxide, and thus provides a better insulation barrier under extreme temperatures and vibration.

In finish, the M39003/01-5226/HSD is a high quality, excellent performance part that provides increased vibration and temperature resistance in avionic and communications applications. It is compatible with standard surface mount processes and offers a wide range of low ESR values for higher quality performance.
