Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are high-capacitance capacitors which are highly used in multiple applications in devices such as portable radios, cell phones, digital cameras, GPS systems and MP3 players. The foremost feature of tantalum capacitors is that they are capable of storing high levels of energy and dissipating them very quickly, making them an important energy storage component. They are characterized by their small size and long storage life. The principal element in Tantalum capacitors is the metal tantalum. That metal is combined with various dielectrics and electrolytes and is then cast into the capacitor design form factor.

M39003/01-5445/HSD Application Field and Working Principle

The M39003/01-5445/HSD electrolytic tantalum capacitor is a type based of​an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, with a MnO2 cathode, and is rated at 25 volts, 7 microfarads. It is a ​disc-type capacitor with a solid manganese-dioxide cathode, and its dielectric is tantalum pentoxide, and it is characterized by small capacitance value, high stability and a long life. It is frequently found in signal processing applications in both aerospace and defence installations.

The working principle of the M39003/01-5445/HSD is based on the same principles as all other capacitors – it stores and releases electrical energy. As current is applied, the tantalum pentoxide dielectric acts as a barrier and allows the capacitor to store a large amount of energy. When the current is removed, the stored energy is discharged. The solid manganese-dioxide cathode helps extend the life of the capacitor, ensuring the energy will continue to be discharged over a long period of time.

The size of the M39003/01-5445/HSD electrolytic tantalum capacitor allows it to be used in space-constrained applications, such as in portable radios, cell phones, digital cameras, GPS systems and MP3 players. It can be easily integrated into many power and noise filtering designs, providing designers with an economical and reliable tantalum capacitor solution.

Tantalum capacitors like the M39003/01-5445/HSD can provide designers with more than just cost savings. Their low dissipation factor, combined with their high capacitance ratings, allow them to function in many applications which require high capacitance with minimal power loss. Additionally, their extremely long shelf life, ability to withstand extreme temperature ranges, and high reliability make them ideal for defence and aerospace applications.

In summary, M39003/01-5445/HSD electrolytic tantalum capacitors are small, high-capacitance capacitors capable of storing high levels of energy and then quickly discharging it. They are designed for use in space-constrained applications, and they are capable of withstanding extreme temperature ranges. Their long life and high reliability make them a popular choice for many defence and aerospace applications.
