M39006/09-8485

The M39006/09-8485 capacitor is a type of tantalum capacitor. Tantalum capacitors are special electro-chemical capacitors which have a dielectric composed of a layer of oxide on the surface of a tantalum part. They are widely used in all sorts of electronic equipment, and have many advantages over other types of capacitors.

The M39006/09-8485 tantalum capacitor has a specific purpose in high temperature, sealed applications, and is designed for use in military, aerospace and commercial systems where high reliability is imperative. It is a surface mount device with a non-standard lead configuration, and has a maximum temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, which makes them suitable for a wide range of applications such as high temperature or vibration tolerant circuits.

It has a capacitance of 0.33 μF, a tolerance of ±10%, and it is rated for an operating voltage of 10V DC. The M39006/09-8485 is an axial leaded capacitor, and its construction uses a sintered tantalum anode, an electrolyte, and a solid manganese dioxide cathode. The anode and cathode are isolated from each other with an oxide layer, the thickness of which is the determining factor for the capacitance of the device.

The working principle of the M39006/09-8485 tantalum capacitor is relatively simple. When a voltage is applied across the capacitor terminals, electrons are pushed across the oxide layer from the anode to the cathode, thus causing a buildup of electrons at the cathode and creating an electrostatic field. This causes a current to flow between the two terminals of the capacitor, which is known as the capacitance current and is what allows the capacitor to store charge.

The M39006/09-8485 tantalum capacitor is used in numerous applications, most typically those that require a high temperature or high vibration tolerance, such as avionic, military, and automotive systems. Its low cost and reliability make it a popular choice for use in a variety of low power applications as well.

In conclusion, the M39006/09-8485 tantalum capacitor is a versatile and reliable device that is used in numerous applications. Its low cost and great reliability make it an ideal choice, and its specialized construction allows it to be suitable for high temperature or vibration tolerant applications.
