Tantalum capacitor microstructure

What is the maximum voltage a tantalum capacitor can withstand?

Tantalum capacitors are available in a range of capacitance values, typically from a few microfarads (µF) to several hundred µF. This is the maximum voltage that the capacitor can safely withstand. It’s important to choose a tantalum capacitor with a voltage rating higher than the maximum voltage your circuit will experience.

What is a tantalum capacitor made of?

A tantalum capacitor consists of a tantalum metal anode, a dielectric oxide layer, and a cathode (usually made from a liquid or solid electrolyte). The tantalum anode forms the positive side, while the cathode forms the negative side. The oxide layer acts as the dielectric, enabling the capacitor to store electrical charge.

Can a tantalum electrolytic capacitor withstand a reverse voltage?

Nevertheless, tantalum electrolytic capacitors can withstand for short instants a reverse voltage for a limited number of cycles. The most common guidelines for tantalum reverse voltage are: 1% of rated voltage to a maximum of 0.1 V at 125 °C.

What is the impedance of a tantalum electrolytic capacitor?

In data sheets of electrolytic capacitors, only the impedance magnitude |Z| is specified, and simply written as "Z". Regarding to the IEC/EN 60384-1 standard, the impedance values of tantalum electrolytic capacitors are measured and specified at 10 kHz or 100 kHz depending on the capacitance and voltage of the capacitor.

Are tantalum capacitors polarized?

Tantalum capacitors are inherently polarized components. Reverse voltage can destroy the capacitor. Non-polar or bipolar tantalum capacitors are made by effectively connecting two polarized capacitors in series, with the anodes oriented in opposite directions.

Are tantalum electrolytic capacitors SMD?

More than 90% of all tantalum electrolytic capacitors are manufactured in SMD style as tantalum chip capacitors. It has contact surfaces on the end faces of the case and is manufactured in different sizes, typically following the EIA -535-BAAC standard. The different sizes can also be identified by case code letters.

Electrolytic capacitors use a chemical feature of some special metals, historically called valve metals, which can form an insulating oxide layer. Applying a positive voltage to the tantalum anode material in an electrolytic bath forms an oxide barrier layer with a thickness proportional to the applied voltage. This oxide layer serves as the dielectric in an electrolytic capacitor. The properties of this oxide layer are compared with those of a niobium electrolytic capacitor oxide la…
