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.
The codes given in the chart below usually tell the length and width of the components in tenths of millimeters or hundredths of inches. For example, a metric 2520 component is 2.5 mm by 2.0 mm which corresponds roughly to 0.10 inches by 0.08 inches (hence, imperial size is 1008).
A real world model of an electrolytic capacitor. Shows the capacitor (C), the dieletric leakage resistance (R leakage), and the effective series resitance and inductance (R ESR and L ESL). Date: 25 November 2006: Source: Own drawing
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:
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".
