Working principle

A tantalum capacitor is basically a type of electrolytic capacitor. An electrolytic capacitor is an electronic device, consisting of two metal plates separated by a dielectric material. One of the plates is made of an electrically conductive material, which acts as the ‘plate’, while the other plate is usually made of tantalum or some other dielectric material. The tantalum plate acts as the dielectric material, which is electrically charged when electricity passes through it.

The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is simple. When an alternating current passes through the two plates, a reaction happens between the two plates. The reaction causes ions of antagonistic charges to move between the plates, thus creating a capacitance between them. The capacitance of the capacitor is determined by the size of the two plates, the distance between them, and the dielectric constant of the dielectric material. The capacitor can then store energy in the form of an electric charge. When the voltage across the capacitor is higher than the dielectric constant of the dielectric material, it will cause the capacitor to release the stored energy.

Tantalum capacitors are generally low-cost and efficient components, ideal for many electronic projects. They are also highly reliable, and offer excellent performance in high temperature and high voltage applications. As such, they are widely used in a variety of electronic application fields.
