M39003/09-3016

Tantalum capacitors are highly reliable components used to store energy and filter signals, which are commonly found in automotive, military, aerospace and other industries. The M39003/09-3016 capacitor is one such device. It is a surface mount chip capacitor.

The M39003/09-3016 capacitor is a wet type tantalum capacitor and is made up of two sections; an anode and a cathode. The two sections are separated by an electrolytic dielectric material, which is made up of a taonoxide film. The two sections are also connected by a conductive tantalum pellet, which acts as the connection between the two sections of the capacitor. The pellet is then enclosed by a plastic outer casing.

The anode of the capacitor is connected to the positive voltage terminal of a DC source. The cathode is then connected to the negative voltage terminal. The voltage applied across the two terminals creates an electric field, which causes the ions in the electrolytic dielectric to move from the anode to the cathode side of the capacitor. This is known as the charging or forming process. The ions, which carry the electric charge, form a layer at the boundary between the cathode and the anode. This layer of ions acts as a dielectric, which allows the capacitor to store electrical charge, known as capacitance.

The M39003/09-3016 capacitor has a capacitance of 22uF and a voltage rating of 16 volts. It includes a surge tolerance of 250 mW and a temperature range of -55° to 125° C. This makes it suitable for operating in high temperature and high voltage applications. It is designed to be used in digital circuitry such as audio power amplifiers, TV receivers and broadband video amplifiers. It is also commonly used in automotive electronics, such as engine controls, transmission control modules, airbag systems and audio systems.

The M39003/09-3016 capacitor is an excellent choice for high reliability and high temperature operation. Its wet tantalum design ensures low equivalent series resistance and high capacitance density. Its low driven temperature makes it suitable for many automotive application and its surge tolerance capability makes it well suited for demanding digital circuitry.
