Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are a type of capacitors that use tantalum as an anode and electrolytic solution as the cathode. They are an alternate technology to aluminum electrolytic capacitors and offer superior temperature and voltage performance as well as lower ESR compared to aluminum electrolytics.

M39003/01-7195/HSD Application Field and Working Principle

M39003/01-7195/HSD is a very popular type of tantalum capacitors. It has application fields in military and aerospace systems. It is mostly used to attenuate power supplies, filter signals, store energy and provide protection from high voltage transients.

These capacitors have a metal oxide anode as well as a conductive organic polymer filling the gap between the anode and cathode. This type of construction ensures a robust performance under various levels of temperature and voltage. Additionally, the design provides low ESR, which makes them highly suitable for high frequency switching applications as well.

The working principle of M39003/01-7195/HSD capacitors is based on a double layer formed by the metal oxide anode and electrolytic solution. When an electric field is applied to the capacitor, ions from the electrolytic solution migrate to the anode and build up a charge at the dielectric interface. This forms a capacitor that has an electrical charge on one side while the other side is the grounding field.

M39003/01-7195/HSD capacitors also have a limit on their capacitance or voltage ratings. The voltage rating is typically limited by the breakdown voltage of the dielectric material used in the construction of the capacitor. As with any other capacitors, it is important to adhere to the specified ratings in order to avoid possible damage to the capacitor and related circuitry.

Overall, the M39003/01-7195/HSD capacitor is an incredibly reliable and versatile technology providing superior performance and efficiency compared to traditional aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
