M39003/01-5240/HSD

Tantalum capacitors are a type of capacitor that use the elements tantalum and oxygen to store electric charge. The M39003/01-5240/HSD is a surface mount tantalum capacitor that is often used in military and aerospace applications. It is a reliable and robust device that is capable of withstanding extreme environmental conditions.

The main components of the M39003/01-5240/HSD are two layers of conductive plates, a dielectric material between them, and a cover. The conductive plates are made from tantalum, while the dielectric material is usually a film of titanium oxide. This technology allows for a high capacitance to volume ratio, which makes it suitable for applications requiring space-saving components. The M39003/01-5240/HSD is usually soldered onto a printed circuit board and can be used in applications such as microprocessors, radio transmitters, receivers, and amplifiers.

The working principle of the M39003/01-5240/HSD is based on the fact that when a voltage is applied to a capacitor, it will store electrical charge. This is due to the electric field that is created between the two metal plates. The dielectric material between the plates will resist the flow of electrons, keeping the charge stored on the capacitor until the voltage is removed.

This capacitor is able to maintain a relatively stable capacitance value over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies, making it a great choice for applications that require reliable performance, such as GPS receivers, communications systems, and medical monitoring devices. The M39003/01-5240/HSD also has a long lifespan, making it especially suitable for embedded applications that must operate for long periods of time.

The M39003/01-5240/HSD is usually available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 0603 to 1210. It is available with ratings of 16 V to 100 V and capacitance values ranging from 1 µF to 100 µF, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The device is also resistant to vibrations, humidity, and extreme temperatures, ensuring reliable operation even in harsh conditions.

Overall, the M39003/01-5240/HSD is an excellent choice for applications requiring a reliable and robust high capacitance to volume tantalum capacitor. Its low ESR and long lifespan make it an ideal choice for embedded systems, and its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and environmental conditions ensure reliable operation even in the harshest conditions.
