  2. Polymer capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_capacitor

    Polymer tantalum electrolytic capacitors are essentially tantalum capacitors in which the electrolyte is a conductive polymer instead of manganese dioxide, see also tantalum capacitor#Materials, production and styles Tantalum capacitors are manufactured from a powder of relatively pure elemental tantalum metal.

  3. Tantalum capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum_capacitor

    Tantalum capacitors in different styles: axial, radial and SMD-chip versions (size comparison with a match) 10 μF 30 VDC-rated tantalum capacitors, solid electrolyte epoxy-dipped style. A tantalum electrolytic capacitor is an electrolytic capacitor, a passive component of electronic circuits.

  4. Capacitor types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_types

    Aluminum, tantalum and niobium electrolytic capacitors are named after the material used as the anode and the construction of the cathode (electrolyte) Polymer capacitors are aluminum, tantalum or niobium electrolytic capacitors with conductive polymer as electrolyte; Supercapacitor is the family name for:

  5. Tantalum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum

    Tantalum electrolytic capacitors exploit the tendency of tantalum to form a protective oxide surface layer, using tantalum powder, pressed into a pellet shape, as one "plate" of the capacitor, the oxide as the dielectric, and an electrolytic solution or conductive solid as the other "plate".

  6. Electrolytic capacitor - Wikipedia

    They were still less expensive than tantalum capacitors and with their flat design for laptops and cell phones competed with tantalum chip capacitors as well. Tantalum electrolytic capacitors with PPy polymer electrolyte cathode followed three years later. In 1993 NEC introduced its SMD polymer tantalum electrolytic capacitors, called "NeoCap".

  7. Decoupling capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decoupling_capacitor

    A decoupling capacitor provides a bypass path for transient currents, instead of flowing through the common impedance. [1] The decoupling capacitor works as the device’s local energy storage. The capacitor is placed between the power line and the ground to the circuit the current is to be provided.

    English: Sprague invented the Tantalum Capacitor during World War 2. It permitted electrolytic type capacitors to be smaller in size. It permitted electrolytic type capacitors to be smaller in size. However tantalum is not as resistant to over voltage or spikes.

  9. Dissipation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissipation_factor

    The loss tangent is defined by the angle between the capacitor's impedance vector and the negative reactive axis. If the capacitor is used in an AC circuit, the dissipation factor due to the non-ideal capacitor is expressed as the ratio of the resistive power loss in the ESR to the reactive power oscillating in the capacitor, or
