M39003/01-7172/HSD

Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are a type of capacitor that is made out of tantalum metal. The metal is usually mixed with an electrolyte material, such as titanium dioxide, to form the dielectric used in these capacitors. Tantalum capacitors have become increasingly popular due to their stability, low leakage, and high capacitance. The M39003/01-7172/HSD is a type of tantalum capacitor.

Application Fields

The main application fields for M39003/01-7172/HSD tantalum capacitors include switching power supplies, computers, satellite receivers, and telecommunications equipment. These capacitors excel in extreme temperatures, making them ideal for industrial and automotive use. They can also be used as coupling components, where two different signals can be filtered and separated.

Tantalum capacitors are also used to filter high-frequency signals and provide additional stability in power supplies. They can also be used in current measurement circuitry, due to their low leakage. The capacitors have a maximum operating temperature of 125°C, and are able to withstand a wide range of voltage inputs.

Working Principle

The M39003/01-7172/HSD uses a layer of tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) between two layers of conductive material, usually stainless steel or silver-based alloy sheets or rods. This structure is known as a layer capacitor, since each side of the capacitor acts as one of the layers. This structure creates an electrical charge that is stored in the dielectric layer.

When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, the material underneath the dielectric layer becomes charged. This charge slowly works its way around the capacitor, creating a uniform electrical field between the two layers. This electrical field creates a small amount of energy that can be used to power circuits and other devices.

The charge stored in the M39003/01-7172/HSD is not affected much by temperature or environmental changes. The tantalum pentoxide dielectric also provides a high level of capacitance, allowing the capacitor to store a large amount of energy.

Tantalum capacitors are a great choice for many applications, due to their stability, high capacitance, and low leakage. The M39003/01-7172/HSD is a versatile type of capacitors that can be used in a wide variety of projects, from automotive and industrial use to switching power supplies and telecommunications equipment.
