Tantalum Capacitors

A tantalum capacitor, also known as a Ta-CAP, is a type of capacitors which utilizes a solid electrolyte to provide electrostatic functions of capacitance. The tantalum capacitor is awesome because it offers very high energy storage capability in a small package and offers many different features compared to other similar types of capacitors. The Tantalum capacitor is a type of surface-mount components known as MLCCs (Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors).

M39006/22-0558 Application Field and Working Principle

The M39006/22-0558 is a type of tantalum capacitor, and it is a radial, chip type. This capacitor is milled in a slit pattern of 22 to 05, and it is available in an industry standard size of 0.5 inches long and 0.3 inches wide. It is typically used for such applications as general purpose applications, high temperature DC to DC converters, PWM applications such as DC motors, high frequency switching applications, SMPS DC to DC converters, switching-mode power supplies, automotive, and military electronic systems.

The operating principle of the M39006/22-0558 is based on the fact that capacitors will store energy when a voltage is applied to their plates. This is known as "capacitance" which is measured in Farads. In this way a capacitor can be used to both store and release energy when the voltage changes. This is why it is commonly used in power applications as it can help regulate the current supplied to the system.

In terms of capacitance, the M39006/22-0558 is capable of storing a capacitance of between 0.1μF and 2.2μF. This is a large amount of energy for such a small size of capacitor, and it is highly desirable for most types of applications.

The M39006/22-0558 is a low leakage capacitor, meaning that its capacitance will not be reduced even after long periods of operation or when exposed to high voltages. Additionally, the capacitor is also a low-voltage capacitor, meaning that it has a low breakdown voltage of only 100 volts, which is incredibly low for such a tiny capacitor and can make it ideal for many applications where it is necessary to protect the system from high voltages.

The M39006/22-0558 has a high frequency range of up to 180kHz and therefore is an excellent choice for use in high frequency switching applications. Its high frequency range also means that it can provide much better impedance characteristics than other similar capacitors.

Finally, the M39006/22-0558 has excellent environmental characteristics. It is non-magnesium sensitive, meaning that it is not affected by the shifting of magnetic fields, and is RoHS compliant, meaning that it is designed to protect against environmental hazards. As a result, this type of capacitor can be used in a wide variety of applications, including many that require increased safety levels or that are exposed to the elements.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the M39006/22-0558 is an excellent type of tantalum capacitor. It is highly capable and capable of storing and releasing energies of up to 2.2μF, has a high frequency range up to 180kHz, is low-leakage and low-voltage, and it is non-magnesium sensitive, making it a great choice for many applications. It is also RoHS compliant, making it a safe and environmentally friendly choice.
