Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic capacitor, which are pressure contacts made of tantalum metal and which are characterized by their relatively small size and high capacitance relative to other capacitor types. The capacitance can range from 0.1µF to many thousand µF at a given voltage rating. They are used in a wide range of applications, from portable to military. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of M39003/09-0024/HSD.

Purpose of M39003/09-0024/HSD

M39003/09-0024/HSD is a tantalum capacitor designed for military and aerospace applications. It is specifically designed to withstand high temperature extremes, and its components are qualified to MIL-SPEC standards. It is used for many military applications, including radios, radars, and guidance systems in aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft.

Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors work by the same general principle as any other electrolytic capacitor. They have two plates separated by a dielectric. One of the plates is typically made of a tantalum metal which serves as the anode while the other is made of an electrically conducting material, usually aluminum oxide or tantalum pentoxide. When voltage is applied to the plates, a liquid electrolyte is consumed, resulting in the formation of an insulating oxide layer on the tantalum plate, which serves as the dielectric.
