Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are one of the most popular types of capacitors used in electronic devices and circuits. As an electrolytic capacitor, the M39003/01-7353 is a type of tantalum capacitor that consists of two conducting plates separated by a dielectric material. A conducting lead, known as the anode, is attached to one of the plates, while a second lead, known as the cathode, is attached to the other plate. The dielectric material helps to store energy when an electric current is applied between the two plates, and the capacitance of the device depends on the size and spacing between the two plates.

The M39003/01-7353 also uses a new generation electrolyte which is a semi-conductive polymer material designed to replace traditional electrolytes such as tantalum pentoxide. This new electrolyte provides a higher dielectric constant than traditional electrolytes, allowing the capacitor to store more energy than traditional capacitors. The use of this new material has enabled engineers to design capacitors with higher capacitance and higher voltage ratings.

The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is based upon a process called "Faraday\'s Law of Induction." Basically, when electric current is applied to the leads of the capacitor, the dielectric material between the two plates stores an electric charge. The amount of charge stored is proportional to the electric current applied, and the capacitance is determined by the size and spacing of the two plates. To discharge the capacitor, the current is simply reversed, allowing the stored charge to flow back to its original source.

Tantalum capacitors are most commonly used in high-frequency applications due to their high capacitance to volume ratio. They are ideal for applications that require high-speed switching, high-voltage storage, and low-noise signal conditioning. The M39003/01-7353 in particular is designed for high-density and high-voltage military energy storage applications, such as power supplies and satellite communication systems.

The M39003/01-7353 tantalum capacitor also features a low ESR and high temperature range. The ESR, or equivalent series resistance, is the measure of ohmic resistance, or how much energy is lost in the capacitor as heat when in use. The low ESR of this capacitor allows for efficient and stable operation when subjected to high currents. Furthermore, the operating temperature range of the M39003/01-7353 is -55°C to +125°C, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.

The M39003/01-7353 is one of the most reliable and advanced electrolytic capacitors currently available. Its high capacitance, low ESR and wide temperature range make it a versatile component in high-reliability military applications. Whether your application requires a high-voltage storage solution or high-frequency switching, the M39003/01-7353 will provide reliable power storage and signal filtering.
