This series meets the lead-free and RoHS compliant requirements of ELV compliance.

Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors work on the principle of electrical capacitance. This means that they are able to store electrical energy in the form of an electric field between two conducting surfaces - an anode and cathode. The anode and cathode surfaces are both coated with a dielectric material that has a specific capacitance rating, as determined by the manufacturer. As the anode and cathode surfaces are close together, a voltage applied to one surface causes a current to flow between the two surfaces, resulting in the capacitor storing an electrical charge.

M39003/01-6364H capacitors use solid tantalum oxide as the cathode material, forming a solid-state electrolytic capacitor with an anode made up of sintered tantalum. As the capacitor is charged and discharged, electrolytic action occurs, which results in the anode being slowly eroded. This continuous electrolysis causes a wider window of electrical energy to be stored by the capacitor, resulting in a long service life.

Conclusion

The M39003/01-6364H series of tantalum capacitors are a viable solution for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Their solid construction, enhanced performance, and long service life make them an ideal choice for any application requiring an efficient power source.
