Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitor with an oxide-based electrolyte, and, like most electrolytic capacitors, they are polarized with a low breakdown voltage. This type of capacitor is characterized by its large capacitance per unit volume and low cost.

The M39003/01-6076 is a tantalum capacitor with a hermetically sealed, axial leaded tantalum capacitor. This capacitor has a high capacitance value of up to 60,000mF and a fairly low ESR of just 0.21Ω.

Application Field

The M39003/01-6076 is a extremely popular capacitor due to its high capacitance and relatively low ESR. It is often used in power supply applications for filtering and decoupling, as well as in audio and video equipment, and other high power projects.

Due to its large capacitance, the M39003/01-6076 can also be used as a buffer or hold capacitance in designs. This capacitor is capable of providing enough charge to keep a device supplied for a few seconds, allowing it to have enough power to operate for a short period of time.

Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors store electric energy through an electrolyte which causes an electric charge to be stored on each of its leads. When this capacitor is connected in a circuit, the stored charge creates an electric field capable of storing and discharging electrical energy. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, the voltage causes electric current to travel from one terminal to another, creating an electric field in the form of an electric dipole.

This light, compact and inexpensive capacitor can store a large amount of capacitance, making it ideal for use in many applications. This is due to the fact that this type of capacitor uses an oxide based electrolyte, which limits the leakage current once the capacitor is charged up and thus allowing for a large amount of capacitance to be stored in this type of capacitor.

Conclusion

The M39003/01-6076 is clearly a great capacitance solution for high power projects due to its high capacitance value and low ESR. This type of capacitor is also able to provide short bursts of energy for devices and to provide a buffer for signals, making it an extremely versatile and important component in many applications.
