Capacitors Tantalum

Below is a list of technical and application notes relevant to Johanson Dielectrics Tantalum Capacitors.

Title Purpose / Key Insight
Tanceram® Tantalum Replacement MLCs & ESR Curves
  • Superior High-Frequency Performance – Tanceram® chip capacitors offer much lower ESR and ESL than tantalum capacitors, enabling reduced heat generation, higher ripple current handling, and more efficient power conversion in switching supplies, DC/DC converters, LCD drivers, and digital circuits.
  • Smaller, Cost-Effective Alternative – Engineers can often replace a tantalum capacitor with a Tanceram® of ½ to ¹⁄₁₀th the capacitance, achieving lower impedance, smaller circuit size, and lower overall cost while maintaining or improving performance.
Recommended Storage Conditions
  • Lists environmental requirements for long-term capacitor storage before assembly.
  • Emphasizes humidity and temperature control to prevent oxidation or degradation.
Part Number Explanation - Tantalum
  • Breaks down Johanson’s capacitor part numbering system into clear segments.
  • Each section of the code represents attributes such as dielectric, capacitance value, tolerance, case size, termination, and voltage rating.
