10μF 25V Tantalum Capacitor

10μF 25V tantalum capacitor is small in size, easy to operate and carry. The capacity error of 10μF tantalum capacitor is small, so it can be more accurate in operation.

Features:

• Small volume and small capacity error
• Wide temperature range, high temperature resistance
• Long life, high insulation resistance, small leakage current
• Equivalent series resistance (ESR) has good high frequency performance

Specification:

DIP Tantalum Capacitor Dimension: (Unit: mm)

SMD Tantalum Capacitor Dimension: (Unit: mm)

B: L= 3.5, S= 0.8, W₁= 2.8, W₂= 2.2, H= 1.9

Tips: Tantalum Capacitor Failure Modes

One of the disadvantages of having a very thin oxide layer as the dielectric is that it is not particularly robust. As a result, care has to be taken when using tantalum capacitors.

• Tantalum capacitors are reliable provided they are operated within their specification limits. Many reliability standards recommend operating them at a maximum of 50% or 60% of their rated working voltage to give a good margin.
• If this is done then they operate reliably and provide good service, although over the long term, their reliability may not always be as high as anticipated.
• Tantalum capacitors are not tolerant of abuse. If they are reverse biased or their working voltage is exceeded ten they can fail in a dramatic way. At best they can emit a little smoke, but they can also fail explosively as well.
• Care must be taken to ensure this does not happen as it can lead to equipment failure or even fires in some instances.
