Dear customer.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I have good news for you!

In the past two years, tantalum capacitor situation was very hard. But now Kingtronics dip tantalum capacitors cost down! Lead time also improved much.

Could you please send me new inquiry or old inquiry? Let me review price for you!

Kingtronics produce and sell dipped tantalum capacitor and SMD tantalum capacitor. If you have inquiry, pls send inquiry to sales1@kingtronics.com Pls visit our new website www.kingtronics.com for our ISO 9001: 2008 certification, UL certification, SGS certification.

Tantalum is a dense and ductile metal that is silver-gray in color. It is considered both a refractory metal, due to its high melting point of 2,996 degrees Celsius and a valve metal, due to its tendency to oxidize, which forms an insulating film.

Size & Energy

Tantalum capacitors can pack a lot of energy into a very compact package. This is an essential quality when it comes to electronic devices,

particularly cell phones, mp3 players and portable computers, which have been persistently getting smaller and smaller.A tantalum capacitor rated at 10 uF can produce the same amount of voltage as a 100 uF aluminum capacitor.

Reliability

Tantalum is extremely resistant to heat. However, the metal is also resistant to extreme temperatures in general, and can retain its properties even in excessive cold, which is important if you leave your cell phone or mp3 in a parked car during winter. In addition, tantalum can withstand exposure to corrosive substances, including sulfuric, nitric and hydrochloric acids.

Insulation

Tantalum can be electrochemically oxidized so that it forms a stable, insulating film on its outside. This oxidized tantalum makes the perfect

material for the insulating portion of a capacitor, known as a dielectric, which is sandwiched between two conductors.

A tantalum capacitor is a type of capacitor with parts made out of the metal tantalum. Because they offer several advantages over older and more standard aluminum capacitors, tantalum capacitors are becoming increasingly popular and are often included in newer circuit designs.

IdentificationA capacitor is an electronic component made out of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material. It is used to store energy.

Tantalum

Tantalum is a rare, hard, heavy, blue-grey metal. It is highly resistant to corrosion and is mostly chemical inert, making it a durable

metal for electronic components. Tantalum capacitors are made from a small amount of mostly pure tantalum powder.

Uses

Tantalum capacitors are used in situations where the capacitor must hold power for a longer period of time.

They are also used with power supplies and in environments that operate at high temperature.

Durability

Because of the way tantalum capacitors are constructed and the natural resistance to corrosion of tantalum,

tantalum capacitors are exceptionally durable. They do not have any parts that wear out with use.

Polarity

One disadvantage to tantalum capacitors is that they are polar devices. They can only operate with power

flowing through them in one direction, unlike some other types of capacitors.

The tantalum capacitor is a highly reliable type of electrolytic capacitor, available in both solid-bodied and separately encased forms.

The encased "wet" variant is not used often in modern designs. Surface mount tantalum capacitors are widely used in circuit designs because of their volumetric efficiency, basic reliability and process compatibility.

Tantalum SMD capacitors are widely used to provide levels of capacitance that are higher than those that can be achieved when using ceramic capacitors.

Solid tantalum chip capacitors are designed and manufactured with the demanding requirements of surface mount technology in mind, there are six cases availble.

We have good quality with RoHS-compliant, have good price and good sevice.

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". Because the dielectric layer can be very thin (thinner than the similar layer in, for instance, an aluminium electrolytic capacitor), a high capacitance can be achieved in a small volume. Because of the size and weight advantages, tantalum capacitors are attractive for portable telephones, personal computers, and automotive electronics.

Kingtronics short for Kt (logo) produce tantalum capacitors since 1997, include dipped tantalum capacitors (through hole capacitors), general purpose chip tantalum capacitors (surface mount) and Low-ESR chip tantalum capacitors (surface mount).We have a full instruction about Tantalum Capacitors in our website www.kingtronics.com  each series of Tantalum Capacitors have detailed PDF and other information.
