M39003/01-8074

Tantalum capacitors, also known as electrolytic capacitors, are electronic components used in a variety of applications. The M39003/01-8074 is a military specification tantalum capacitor, capable of operating in extreme temperatures and environments that may not allow the use of civilian grade components. It is designed to provide reliable performance and is capable of high-temperature operation. These capacitors are widely used in defense, aerospace, and other industrial sectors.

The military grade M39003/01-8074 meets the nomenclature of MIL-PRF-39003/01-8074, M39701/01, and MIL-PRF-39701/01, and is designed to operate in temperatures up to 125°C. This makes it suitable for a wide range of high temperature and harsh environment applications, such as power supplies, industrial automation, and automotive electronics. It also has a number of features that make it suitable for applications requiring shock and vibration protection, such as avionics and downhole monitoring.

The M39003/01-8074 tantalum capacitor is constructed with a case made of either molded epoxy or an hermetically sealed metal-cased construction. The case is filled with an electrolyte and then the anode and cathode plates are placed inside the case. The plates are made from a tantalum wire, which is then coated in an insulating oxide layer, giving the plates their electrical properties. The two plates are then sealed with a conductive epoxy, which provides electrical connections and creates the mechanical structure for the capacitor.

The M39003/01-8074 has a number of features that make it particularly well-suited for demanding applications. It has a high capacitance to size ratio, lower ESR, and stable performance, even over time and temperature variations. It also has a low dissipation factor, which allows it to absorb more energy than regular capacitors, making it ideal for power-hungry applications. The component is also resistant to heat, shock, and vibration, making it suitable for use in aerospace and military applications that require these robust features.

In addition to these features, the capacitor also has a ‘jumper’ feature which acts as a bypass circuit. This bypass circuitry allows the capacitor to operate even if one of its connections become disconnected or are otherwise not functioning. This makes the capacitor useful for applications where interrupts regularly occur, such as networking and communications.

The M39003/01-8074 tantalum capacitor is a highly reliable and reliable component for use in demanding applications. It is designed for temperatures up to 125°C and is extremely robust to a range of environmental conditions, such as shock and vibration. It has a high capacitance to size ratio and low ESR, making it suitable for power-hungry applications, while its jumper feature allows it to be used in applications with regular interruptions. As such, it is a versatile and reliable component for a wide range of applications.
