M39003/03-0184/TR application field and working principle

Tantalum capacitors are an important component in the circuits of many modern electronics and can be found in a variety of applications. They are a reliable source of stored electrical energy and provide a low impedance energy discharge when needed. Also referred to as “tantalum electrolytic capacitors”, they are one of the most commonly used types of capacitors in many types of electronic devices, including radios, computers, industrial automation systems, and even medical devices. This article will explain the application field of M39003/03-0184/TR and its working principle.

Application Field

M39003/03-0184/TR tantalum capacitors are commonly used in applications where a large amount of energy needs to be stored and discharged quickly. For instance, they are used in power supplies, microwave ovens, telecommunication and automotive equipment. They are also used as energy storage devices for providing reserve power during peak loads, smoothing out power quality issues, and even as decoupling capacitors to filter out power supply noise. Other common uses of the M39003/03-0184/TR are in defibrillators, accelerometers, medical devices and in analog circuitry.

Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors work on the principle of electrostatic energy storage. This is achieved by passing an electric current through a series of electrodes, which creates an electrostatic field between them. This electrostatic field between the electrodes acts as an insulation, preventing the current from flowing back through the capacitor. When the voltage across the electrodes exceeds the breakdown voltage due to a sudden increase in the applied voltage, a spark passes through the dielectric and electrons are generated in the process. This stored energy is then discharged when the applied voltage returns to its original value.

The M39003/03-0184/TR is a Tantalum capacitor which is constructed with a sintered anode, an electrolyte (liquid tantalum), and a metalized cathode. The anode and cathode form two metallic plates with an oxide layer between them, and this oxide layer acts as the dielectric. The metalized cathode acts as a mean to minimize the risk of leakage, and when a voltage is applied the sintered anode allows for the charge to be stored in the form of electric fields. The electrolyte prevents current from flowing through the capacitor, thereby providing additional insulation.

Tantalum capacitors such as the M39003/03-0184/TR provide excellent electrical performance due to their low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and low equivalent series inductance (ESL). The high capacitance and low ESR values of M39003/03-0184/TR make them an ideal choice for many applications.

In conclusion, M39003/03-0184/TR are versatile capacitors that are employed in many circuits and applications. They provide a reliable source of stored energy, excellent electrical performance, and can easily discharge energy when needed. Thanks to their impressive specifications, M39003/03-0184/TR capacitors have become the preferred choice in many fields and industries.
