Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors, also known as tantalum electrolytic capacitors, are a type of electrolytic-based capacitor. They are very small, low-cost, high-reliability components that are widely used in industrial, consumer electronics, and telecommunications products. These devices are typically made from tantalum oxide sandwiched between an electrolyte (or dielectric) and a metal counter-electrode. The capacitance of a tantalum capacitor is determined primarily by its geometry, the type of oxide used, and the size of the electrodes.

The M39003/01-5249H capacitor is a piece of closed-case non-polarized tantalum capacitor containing manganese dioxide as the electrolyte. It has a rated voltage of 10 volts and a capacitance of 330 microfarads. Its operating temperature range is from -55°C to 125°C. Its dimensions are 6.3 mm x 7.6 mm (D x L).

M39003/01-5249H capacitors are used in power supplies, instrumentation, automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics. They are typically used in applications requiring high ripple current ratings and long life. They are also suitable for use in high-energy storage applications, where they are able to store energy in large amounts. Moreover, they can operate in high-temperature and high-voltage applications, where they provide stable electrical performance. As mentioned before, due to their small size, they are often used in telecommunications applications.

The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is based on the ferroelectric Principle. This principle makes use of a dielectric material through which an electric field can be created. When an electric field is applied to a ferroelectric material, it creates an electric dipole moment. This dipole moment is a result of the atomic arrangement of the material, with the electrons aligning in the direction of the electric field. As a result, the dielectric material becomes polarized, allowing for the capacitor to store energy.

M39003/01-5249H capacitors are ideal for high-temperature and high-voltage applications, where they provide stable electrical performance. They are often used in telecommunications applications due to their small size. Furthermore, they are suitable for use in high-energy storage applications, where they are able to store energy in large amounts.
