What is a wet tantalum capacitor?

The original wet tantalum capacitors developed in the 1930s were axial capacitors, having a wound cell consisting of a tantalum anode and foil cathode separated by a paper stripe soaked with an electrolyte, mounted in a silver case and non-hermetic elastomer sealed.

How were tantalum capacitors made?

They ground metallic tantalum to a powder, pressed this powder into a cylindrical form and then sintered the powder particles at high temperature between 1,500 and 2,000 °C (2,730 and 3,630 °F) under vacuum conditions, into a pellet ("slug"). These first sintered tantalum capacitors used a liquid electrolyte.

Are solid tantalum capacitors a good choice for surface mount assembly?

The stability and resistance to elevated temperatures of the tantalum/tantalum oxide/manganese dioxide system make solid tantalum capacitors an appropriate choice for today's surface mount assembly technology.

How do tantalum capacitors work?

A tantalum lead is embedded in or welded to the pellet, which is in turn connected to a termination or lead wire. The drawings show the construction details of the surface mount types of tantalum capacitors shown in this catalog. Solid electrolyte polymer capacitors utilize sintered tantalum pellets as anodes.

Do tantalum anodes have electrical properties?

This paper reports the sintering and electrical properties of Tantalum anodes made from the electron beam (EB) refined tantalum metal powder. Tantalum anodes were compacted from two different tantalum batch powders and sintered at different temperatures. Electrical properties such as capacitance and voltage were measured and CV values calculated.

What type of cathode does a tantalum capacitor use?

These capacitors utilize a tantalum anode and tantalum case, but need a hybrid cathode made by depositing a material such as ruthenium or palladium on a small piece of tantalum foil. These large case size wet tantalums reach capacitance values of over 72,000μF at 25V and are used in energy hold-up and pulse power applications.
