TPSC226M016R0375 Capacitors

Tantalum Capacitors

A tantalum capacitor is a type of electrolytic capacitor, a component of electronic circuits. It typically consists of a pellet of tantalum metal as an anode, covered by an insulating oxide layer that forms the dielectric, surrounded by liquid or solid electrolyte as a cathode. The properties of tantalum electrolytic capacitors make them attractive for use in consumer electronics equipment. They are small and lightweight, making them ideal for portable consumer equipment. The dielectric in tantalum capacitors is very stable, making them resistant to changes in humidity and temperature.
