Tantalum capacitors

Tantalum capacitors

Tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic polarized capacitors, meaning they can only be used on DC supplies. The the anode is made with tantalum metal either in dust form or sometimes pore metal, these types are known as solid tantalum capacitors. They exhibit superior frequency and stability characteristics. WE stock a good selection of tantalum bead, solid tantalum and wet tantalum 'casternet' types.
