Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalum capacitors, also referred to as Ta capacitors, are electrolytic capacitors. They consist of a pellet of tantalum metal as the anode, covered by an insulating oxide layer that forms the dielectric, surrounded by conductive material as the cathode. Tantalum capacitors are widely used in various types of applications due to their large capacitance values, excellent volumetric efficiency, and rugged construction. The most common application fields of Ta capacitors are listed as follows.

Medical Equipment

Ta capacitors have a range of uses in medical electronics and devices, especially due to their structural stability, long life, low leakage, low current consumption, and high voltage tolerance. As an example,TCFGB1C335M8R tantalum chips are used in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems and pacemaker circuits that require a stable power supply in order to work safely and reliably.

Automotive Electronics

TantaIum capacitors are highly resistant to temperature variations and accelerative forces, making them suitable for automotive electronic applications. Automotive electronic systems require reliable electrical components to retain the vehicles’ performance and safety in diverse environments. TCFGB1C335M8R Ta capacitors are used in engine control modules, audio and video systems, active safety systems and instrument clusters.

Telecommunications

In telecommunications, Ta capacitors are used in a range of components, such as filters, oscillators, buzzers, fixed amplifiers, and radio frequency (RF) tuning circuits. TCFGB1C335M8R Ta capacitors are particularly ideal for mobile communications, which require a high output power, stable and low leakage, and low self-heating.

Consumer Electronics

Tantalum capacitors are suitable for consumer electronics, due to their stability and reliability. Don’t require a lot of space, making them suitable for portable applications. TCFGB1C335M8R Ta capacitors are used in digital cameras, digital videocassette recorders and camcorders, music players, as well as, PCs and peripherals.

Industrial

Tantalum capacitors are used in various industrial applications, including in automatic control, medical and instrumentation, public facility control, and military applications. TCFGB1C335M8R Ta capacitors are particularly suitable for applications that require a high temperature operation range, such as welding equipment, military radios, navigation systems, aircraft systems and high power transmitters.

Working Principle

Tantalum capacitors operate based on Faradays’s law of electrolysis. The capacitor is comprised of two-electrode elements, an anode and a cathode. An electrolyte solution is formed between these two electrodes. When an electric potential is applied to the anode, electrons are released into the electrolyte, and an oxide layer forms around the anode surface. This oxide layer is the dielectric of the capacitor, and acts as a barrier between the positive and negative charges. When the electric potential is removed, the electrolyte reverts back to its original state. The capacitance of the capacitor is measured in Farads, and is determined by the size of the electrode, the dielectric strength of the oxide layer, and the total area of the dielectric.

Conclusion

Tantalum capacitors are suitable for a wide range of applications, due to their excellent volumetric efficiency, high dielectric strength, thermal stability and robust construction. TCFGB1C335M8R Ta capacitors are suitable for applications that require a high temperature operation range and a stable power supply. They are used in various types of consumer electronics, as well as medical equipment, telecommunications and automotive electronics.
