Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitor that are used in various electronic circuits. They are commonly used in applications that require high frequency, low loss, and high capacitance values. The M39003/03-0336H is an example of a tantalum capacitor that is composed of a tantalum dielectric, which is surrounded by a metallic conductor that forms a capacitor when connected to a positive voltage. The capacitor’s main applications are in general-purpose, DC-blocking, AC-coupling, voltage-regulating, and pulse application circuits. This article discusses the specification, applications, and working principle of the M39003/03-0336H tantalum capacitor.

The M39003/03-0336H is a tantalum capacitor with a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C. It has a capacitance of 33uF, a rated voltage of 16VDC, an equivalent series resistance of 10 ohm (max.), and a tolerance of ±20%. The capacitor is 0.357 inches long and 0.290 inches in diameter. It has a failure rate level of 0.1%.

Applications

The M39003/03-0336H is ideal for use in general-purpose and DC-blocking AC-coupling, voltage-regulating, and pulse application circuits. It can be used in consumer electronics, automotive, instrumentation, industrial control, and telecom applications. The capacitor can also be used in noise suppression, RF decoupling, and high frequency battery voltage isolation applications.

Working Principle

The M39003/03-0336H tantalum capacitor works by creating an electric field between two metallic plates in an electrolytic solution. When a voltage source is connected to the capacitor, the positive plate attracts the negative ions in the electrolyte solution, while the negative plate attracts the positive ions. As a result, electric charge accumulates on the plates, creating an electric field between them. This electric field stores electrical energy. When the voltage source is disconnected, the structure of the electric field remains the same and continues to hold the charge. Thus, the M39003/03-0336H is able to provide high capacitance values for its size, while allowing for low loss and high frequency applications.
