Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are a type of capacitor that use tantalum as an anode. This makes it a type of electrolytic capacitor. They are used mainly in electronic equipment for their high capacitance values and small physical size, although they have lower voltage ratings than aluminum electrolytic capacitors. The M39003/01-5500H is a detailed high voltage, high temperature and large capacitance range (<50 μF to 100 μF) tantalum capacitor strongly suitable for both commercial and military grade applications.

M39003/01-5500H Application Field and Working Principle

The M39003/01-5500H is a surface mount capacitor designed to provide superior reliability in harsh environments. The capacitor is intended for use in applications such as power management, automotive, aerospace, defense, industrial, medical, instrumentation, communication, and other high- temperature applications. The M39003/01-5500H has a low ESR (equivalent series resistance) and a low leakage current, which makes it ideal for these types of applications.

The M39003/01-5500H uses a manganese oxide-gated, tantalum-based anode with a standard dielectric, providing reliable operation at temperatures up to 125°C. It is composed of a lower electrolyte composition, which helps improve its long-term reliability and temperature Celsius temperature performance. The tantalum anode is surface-mounted on a ceramic substrate and sealed with a chemically inert sealant, providing excellent protection against vibration, shock, moisture, and prolonged temperatures.

The M39003/01-5500H capacitor has an operating range of 15 V to 55 V DC. It also has superior characteristic voltage ratings that offer superior overvoltage protection. The capacitor has a wide capacitance range of 50 μF to 100 μF and has a very low ESR of 0.15 ohms. The capacitor also has very low leakage current, which minimizes power waste.

The M39003/01-5500H tantalum capacitor also has a high surge current capability. It can handle up to 2.5 A of peak surge current which is up to five times the device\'s rated capacitance. This makes the capacitor well suited for applications where the device may experience short-term high-power operations or power surges.

The M39003/01-5500H also has time-discharge characteristics that are superior to non-tantalum capacitors. This means that the device will slowly discharge even when the input voltage is removed, though the time taken to discharge will be slower than that of non-tantalum capacitors. This is beneficial for applications where the device needs to maintain a charge even when it is not actively receiving voltage.

The M39003/01-5500H has a single bulk capacitor tray package for easy handling and storage. The plastic case also helps protect against vibration and mechanical shocks. The device also has a variety of termination and lead options to meet the specific requirements of the user\'s application. The secondary side retaining clamp option also helps ensure secure connections between the capacitor body and the termination.

The M39003/01-5500H is an ideal solution for extreme and harsh environment applications that require reliable and high-performance capacitance. With superior characteristics and performance, it is one of the best high-voltage, high-temperature and large capacitance range tantalum capacitors available.
