M39006/21-0206

Tantalum capacitors are electronic components used to store electrical charge. The charge is stored by a thin sheet of mechanically pliable material called a dielectric. Generally, the dielectric is a polyester sheet called Mylar. Depending on the application, different types of capacitors may be used, including the tantalum capacitor. This particular capacitor is used extensively due to its size, stability, and power efficiency.

The M39006/21-0206 is an example of a tantalum capacitor from the electronic component manufacturer Vishay. This particular capacitor is a surface-mount type and utilizes solid tantalum technology. It offers an extremely low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) value, making it very efficient in high-end audio, telecommunications, and other advanced electronic applications with severe power requirements. The capacitor is extremely small, measuring just 3.1mm in length and 1.5mm in width.

The M39006/21-0206 has a rated capacitance of 0.1µF (microfarad) at a rated voltage of 6.3V. It may be used as part of a filter network, or as a bypass or decoupling capacitor to improve the power quality of a system by preventing noise and line transients from affecting sensitive circuitry. The capacitor is ideal for use in portable electronic devices, due to its extremely small size and low ESR value.

A tantalum capacitor’s working principle is based on electrostatic principles. As an electric current passes through the capacitor core, it creates an electric potential across the dielectric material. This electric potential acts as an electrical charge and can be stored for later use. When a voltage is applied across the capacitor’s terminals, this stored charge is discharged and dissipates as heat.

The M39006/21-0206 tantalum capacitor is an ideal choice for many applications due to its size, stability, and power efficiency. It is capable of providing years of reliable service in high-end audio, telecommunications, and other advanced electronic equipment. It is also well-suited for use in portable electronic designs due to its low ESR value and small case size.
