Tantalum Capacitors

A tantalum capacitor is a type of wet electrolytic capacitor, an electronic component that stores energy in the form of electricity. They are made with tantalum powder as the anode , covered with an oxide layer and electrolytic solution as the cathode. The oxide layer contains a large amount of electrical charge and is known as the dielectric material. The oxide layer and electrolyte solution act as an insulating layer making it possible for the capacitor to charge and discharge quickly and with minimal loss of capacitance.

The TAP105M035HSB is a type of wet tantalum capacitor. It is a hermetically sealed capacitor, which means that it is completely sealed in under inert atmosphere to prevent any contamination from the environment. It has a somewhat large physical size, making it particularly useful in large-scale high-energy applications. It is also a widely used choice for use as a bypass capacitor due its high capacitance, high working voltage, and low equivalent series resistance (ESR).

Application Field

The TAP105M035HSB is a widely used capacitor in a variety of applications, due to its hermetically sealed construction and its ability to handle high energy. It is often used in the aerospace and military industries, where the rugged construction of the capacitor is beneficial. Other applications include automotive and industrial air conditioning, electric vehicles, audio circuitry, and high-voltage motor control.

The TAP105M035HSB is also used in energy storage systems. In these systems, the capacitor is used to store energy when voltage drops below a certain threshold. This stored energy helps to keep the system running during these peaks and troughs, making the system more reliable.

Working Principle

The TAP105M035HSB is a wet tantalum capacitor. It operates on the same basic principles as all other types of capacitors. When a voltage is applied across the capacitor, the current runs through the electrodes, creating the charge. This charge is stored in the oxide layer, known as the dielectric material. The energy stored in the capacitor is proportional to the voltage applied across it.

The hermetically sealed construction of the capacitor keeps any foreign contaminants from entering the device, making it ideal for use in harsh environments. This also helps the capacitor to maintain its capacitance over time and stay as efficient as possible.

The TAP105M035HSB is a highly efficient capacitor capable of handling high energy applications. Its hermetic construction and large physical size make it a reliable choice for a number of applications.
