1. Disadvantages of tantalum capacitors
The price is relatively high.
If used improperly or the circuit design is defective, it may fail, including explosion.
It is polarity sensitive and can only work in the specified direction.
It may fail easily under certain conditions (such as overvoltage, surge current). -
2. Why do tantalum capacitors explode?
The main reason is that excessive voltage or current shocks cause internal short circuits, which trigger thermal runaway.
Excessive ambient temperature may also exacerbate this situation. -
3. When to use tantalum capacitors?
When miniaturization, low ESR (equivalent series resistance), and stable operation over a wide temperature range are required.
Suitable for audio processing, communication equipment, computer motherboards and other fields. -
4. Will tantalum capacitors deteriorate?
Yes, tantalum capacitors may gradually lose some of their performance when stored for a long time or in adverse environments.
For example, long-term exposure to high temperature and humidity may cause the electrolyte to evaporate or chemically change.
