It is also used in timing circuits, active filters, and signal processing applications, and can also serve as an external power source for microprocessors.

Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors use tantalum to store electrical energy. The working principle of a tantalum capacitor is that when a voltage is applied to it, the electrodes (metal plates) of the capacitor start to exchange charges, and this leads to the storage of electrical energy. The energy is stored in the form of an electrical field in the capacitor, and hence it is referred to as a \'capacitor\'.

The electrical field is created by the action of Coulomb’s Law, which states that the mutual electrical force between two charges is inversely proportional to the distance between them. As the voltage increases, the distance between the two electrodes decreases, resulting in a stronger electrical field. This in turn results in a higher capacitance.

Conclusion

The M39006/09-8306 is a type of tantalum capacitor designed to provide a capacitance of up to 10µF with excellent stability and performance. It is a lead-free, RoHS compliant component, and is widely used for decoupling and coupling capacitors, ERC filtering, power supply filtering, and other applications. Its working principle is based on the exchange of electrons between the plates of the capacitor, which is governed by Coulomb’s Law.
