M39003/09-4076/HSD

The M39003/09-4076/HSD series of tantalum capacitors, also known as Ta-capacitors, are an important component in a multitude of electronic circuits. They are used to provide high quality capacitance in very small form factor packages, and can be found in applications ranging from mobile and consumer electronics to industrial applications.

Typically, these capacitors are constructed using a tantalum cylindrical anode body, with cobalt-doped manganese dioxide as the dielectric material. Connection of this anode to the outside world is made via a tantalum oxide-coated cathode lead.

The primary purpose of a tantalum capacitor is to provide capacitance to a circuit, essentially storing and releasing electrical energy. The amount of energy that can be stored is known as the capacitance, and is typically denoted in farads (F).

When the capacitor is supplied with a voltage signal, the dielectric material between the electrodes stores an electric charge, and the electrical energy stored is determined by the size of the capacitance. When DC voltage is applied to the capacitor, the dielectric material prevents electric current from flowing, effectively acting as an insulator.

For AC voltage, energy is alternately stored and released depending on the frequency of the signal. This has the effect of passing the AC component of the signal while blocking the DC component, effectively filtering the signal. This process is known as capacitive coupling, and can be used in a variety of circuits for signal conditioning, such as low pass and high pass filters.

The M39003/09-4076/HSD series of tantalum capacitors is a high quality part, designed to offer a reliable, high capacitance solution. The capacitance range is available from 0.1µF to 330µF, with voltage rating from 16V to 50V. The capacitors are also equipped with a 100% surface mount version, allowing for a smaller package size for applications where space is a factor.

These capacitors have a low ESR (Equivalent series resistance) which allows for better performance on high frequency signals, and they have excellent frequency stability. Additionally, they are able to provide excellent high temperature performance, increasing their everyday reliability.

The M39003/09-4076/HSD series of tantalum capacitors are an ideal choice for applications requiring a highly stable, high capacitance solution. They offer excellent performance in a small package, combined with a wide range of capacitances and voltage ratings. Whether for audio, mobile, or industrial applications, the M39003/09-4076/HSD series provides a reliable, cost-effective solution.
