Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors, also known as tantalum electrolytic capacitors, are one of the most widely used types of capacitors in the electronics industry. They are constructed from a thin, metal plate coated with a dielectric material and a tantalum electrolyte. This combination produces a device with very high capacitance, high stability, and low leakage current.

The M39003/01-5689 capacitor is a popular type of tantalum capacitor used in many different types of electronics applications. This particular type of capacitor has a lead-free construction, and is designed to be used in applications where a high capacitance, low leakage current, and excellent stability are required. It is also designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures, making it suitable for use in both hot and cold environments.

Application Areas

The M39003/01-5689 capacitor is primarily used in high frequency electronics applications. Common applications include bypass operations in TV tuners, power supply circuits, filter networks, voltage regulators, and signal processing circuits. It is also used in medical equipment, automotive systems, and many other high-reliability applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is similar to that of any other electrolytic capacitor. An electrolyte, typically an alkaline solution, is used to store an electrical charge between two metallic plates, the anode and the cathode. The plates are typically made from a thin film of metal foil, such as aluminum or tantalum. Due to the high capacitance of tantalum capacitors, they are also able to store more charge than other types of capacitors.

When a voltage is applied to the anode and cathode, a layer of ions from the electrolyte will build up on the surface of the anode. This layer is known as the electrical double layer and acts as a barrier, preventing the electrons from flowing directly from the anode to the cathode. As a result, this layer of ions can store an electrical charge, thus producing a capacitance. When the voltage is removed, the electrons will start to flow back through the electrolyte, and the capacitance will gradually decrease.
