1. Difference between ordinary capacitors and tantalum capacitors
Material: Ordinary capacitors can be aluminum electrolytic capacitors, ceramic capacitors, etc.; while tantalum capacitors use metal tantalum as anode material.
Performance: Generally, tantalum capacitors have better temperature stability and higher capacity-to-volume ratio.
Application range: Due to its performance characteristics, tantalum capacitors are often used in miniaturized electronic products that require high reliability. -
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. What special precautions must be taken when installing tantalum capacitors?
Ensure the correct polarity connection.
Be careful not to exceed the rated voltage.
Use appropriate fuses or other protective devices to prevent overcurrent.
Consider heat dissipation design to avoid local overheating. -
4. What causes tantalum capacitors to burn out?
Common causes include applying a voltage exceeding the maximum allowable value, excessive current, high ambient temperature, and manufacturing defects.
