Tantalum-Polymer Capacitors are often divided into two main categories, namely surface-mount capacitors and monolithic capacitors. The M551B607M050AT belongs to the latter with its construction being a combination of a tantalum anode and a solid-state plastic dielectric. This makes the capacitor suitable for a number of applications due to its long life expectancy and its ability to operate in a wide range of environmental conditions from extremely hot temperatures to corrosive atmospheres.

The M551B607M050AT, being one of the most commonly used types of tantalum-polymer capacitors, is ideal for a variety of electrical applications, such as DC-DC converters, high-frequency filtering, decoupling and bypassing applications. It is designed with a high voltage rating of 25V, low ESR of 0.10 Ω and capacitance of 1µF.

In order to understand the working principle of this capacitor, it is important to consider how its components work together. This consists of two components, a tantalum constructed anode and a solid-state plastic dielectric. The electricity passes through the anode, converting the electrons into ions within the dielectric and thus charging the capacitor.

When the capacitor is discharged, the ions are discharged back into the anode meaning that they can be used again in the same manner. This makes the capacitor almost maintenance free as only a slight voltage and current is required to charge the capacitor.

While there are several advantages to the M551B607M050AT, it must be noted that the device has a few drawbacks which should be taken into account. Mainly, the device produces a relatively high amount of leakage current, meaning that depending on the application, alternative higher-grade capacitors may be more suitable. Additionally, due to the high dielectric constant, the capactance of the capacitor is significantly lower than the expected value at certain frequencies.

To conclude, the M551B607M050AT is an ideal choice for applications needing a high voltage rated, low ESR and small size capacitor. Its construction consisting of a tantalum anode and a solid-state plastic dielectric enable the device to have a long life expectancy as well as the ability to operate in a wide range of environmental conditions. However, it must be noted that the device does produce a relatively high leakage current and its capacitance is lower than expected at certain frequencies, which could be a significant factor if reliability is a requirement.
