Reverse Bias Behavior of Surface Mount Solid Tantalum Capacitors
نویسنده
چکیده
Solid tantalum capacitors are polarized devices designed to operate only under forward voltage bias conditions. Application of reverse voltage may produce high leakage currents with potentially destructive results. Such misapplications of these devices sometimes occur during bench testing, troubleshooting of engineering modules and/or during some malfunctions in operating systems. However, more serious consequences of reverse bias application are caused by incorrect installation of the capacitor on the board.

The capacitance range for tantalum capacitors spans from singular microfarads (uFd) through a thousand microfarads. It is an electrolytic type of capacitor that can utilize either a liquid type of electrolyte or a solid state material as the cathode connection. The anode construction utilizes the high porosity of the pressed tantalum material to create an enormous amount of surface area to prod...
