M39003/01-7186/TR

Tantalum capacitors are widely used in many electronic applications, and the M39003/01-7186/TR is one of the most common types. They are commonly used in a variety of military and aerospace projects, as well as in commercial applications. The M39003/01-7186/TR has become especially popular in high-power radio frequency (RF) circuits, due to its robust design and environmental resistance characteristics.

A tantalum capacitor is essentially an electronic device which consists of two terminals (positive and negative) connected to an electrolyte, an insulating layer, a layer of metal oxide, and two metal layers. The positive terminal is typically the anode of the device, while the negative terminal is the cathode. The metal layers consist of tantalum and titanium. The metal oxide acts as the dielectric, or electrical insulating material, and the electrolyte acts as the capacitive element, creating a charge across the terminals when an electrical current passes through the device.

The M39003/01-7186/TR is designed for high-voltage applications, as it has an operating voltage rating of 25 volts. It also features a low maximum leakage current of 0.351 microamperes, meaning that current losses are minimized. The device also has a wide temperature range, making it suitable for use in extreme temperatures. In addition to this, the device is resistant to various environmental elements, such as shock, vibration, humidity, and salt-air.

The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is quite simple. As electric current passes through the device, it causes an electrical polarization, which consequently creates a charge between the anode and the cathode. The charge accumulates until the device becomes completely polarized and no more charge can be created. The stored charge acts as a capacitor or a “capacitor barrier” and can hold the current even when the current source is removed.

The M39003/01-7186/TR device offers a number of advantages. Its robust design allows it to cope with high-voltage and high-temperature applications, and it is extremely resistant to environmental elements. Furthermore, it has low power requirements, meaning that it can be used in power-sensitive applications. Thanks to its high capacitance, it can also be used to store large amounts of energy.

Overall, the M39003/01-7186/TR is a popular and reliable type of tantalum capacitor. It can store up to 25 volts of charge, has a maximum leakage current of 0.351 microamperes and a low power requirement. In addition, it is resistant to shock, vibration, humidity, and salt-air. Finally, its capacitance allows it to store large amounts of energy, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications.
