Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are a category of surface-mount and leaded electrolytic capacitors. They are characterized by their small size, low capacitance values, and extremely low equivalent series resistance (ESR). Their main use is in electronic circuits, such as in frequency-selective networks, to secure the correct transfer of frequencies.

M39003/01-8342H Capacitors

M39003/01-8342H capacitors are a special type of tantalum capacitors made from a mixture of manganese dioxide and tantalum. They are exceptionally small in size (only about 0.063 inches in most cases), making them suitable for applications that require very small components. Moreover, they offer excellent capacitance values, ranging from 0.1 µF to 470 µF, and low ESR, making them suitable for applications that require stable voltage regulation.Some of the typical applications in which M39003/01-8342H capacitors are used include DC-to-DC and DC-to-AC convertors, power supplies, frequency-selective networks, sound systems, RF modules, and power amplifiers.

Working Principle

M39003/01-8342H capacitors are electrochemical components that store energy in the form of a charge in its two metallic plates. The exchange of electric charge between the plates is regulated through an electrolyte, a chemical compound that enables the flow of ions between the two plates. When electricity passes through the plates, it creates an electrical charge on the plates, which then generates an electric field between them. This field provides the capacitance of the capacitor, effectively allowing it to store electrical energy and release it at the same voltage as it was acquired.

Conclusion

M39003/01-8342H capacitors are a special type of tantalum capacitors that provide excellent capacitance values, low ESR, and are very small in size, making them ideal for applications that require stable voltage regulation. Their working principle is based on electrochemical reactions between the two plates on the capacitor, and the exchange of ions regulated by the electrolyte. This allows them to store and release energy at the same voltage as it was acquired.
