Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors refer to a family of the electrochemical capacitors that use tantalum, an element found in the periodic table, as an anode material, special dielectric and a semi-conductor. The uniqueness of tantalum capacitors lies in the special anodic oxide layer as well as the high resistivity of the tantalum base material. Consequently, the physical properties of the capacitor provide an ideal combination of low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), high correctness and low self-inductance.

M39003/01-6090/TR Application Field and Working Principle

M39003/01-6090/TR is a common type of tantalum capacitor. It has a low 0.2 ohm ESR and ESR stability. As for the temperature characteristics, the capacitor is consistent and stable in a wide range of temperatures. It is largely used in various electrical applications, such as MEM, diode, pulse aid, charge, and discharge.

When it comes to the working principle of this type of tantalum capacitor, the underlying technology is similar to other types of electrolytic capacitors in the sense that it relies on the principle of electrolysis as a means of storing energy in the form of an electrical charge. At the anode, a metal oxide layer is created when an electrolyte is passed through the component. This layer acts as the dielectric, and as such is responsible for the capacitance of the component.

Because tantalum is a higher resistivity material, it can achieve high capacitance values in a smaller package size. This provides the tantalum capacitors with greater stability and longer lifetimes, compared to other types of capacitors. Tantalum capacitors are also extremely resistant to heat, making them ideal for use in high temperature applications such as power supplies and automotive electronics.

Conclusion

Tantalum capacitors are commonly used in many electrical and electronic applications throughout the industry. The M39003/01-6090/TR is one such example, and its low ESR and temperature stability makes it ideal for a wide variety of tasks. It is highly resistant to heat, making it suitable for high temperature settings, and its small size makes it easier to use in cramped spaces and small products.
