6 FAQs about [Tantalum electrolytic capacitor corrosion process]

What is a tantalum electrolytic capacitor?

What happens if a solid electrolytic tantalum capacitor fails?

No ignition and burning tantalum were found in the Solid Electrolytic Tantalum capacitors that failed short. The black marks on the surface of these capacitors were the areas of the epoxy compound carbonized under the heat propagated from the fault sites in the dielectric at the breakdown event.

What is the mechanism of degradation of a tantalum capacitor?

The mechanism of degradation is likely the same as for solid tantalum capacitors and is due to migration of oxygen vacancies. This degradation accelerates strongly with voltage and temperature, and the activation energy of the process is relatively large, ~1.1 eV.

Do tantalum capacitors have a leakage current?

Analysis of leakage currents in tantalum capacitors, and in particular, processes associated with the presence of electrolyte on the surface of the glass would allow a better understanding of possible reliability risks and help in determining risk mitigation measures.

Why do tantalum capacitors have a high capacitance?

As the dielectric constant of the tantalum pentoxide and area of the plates are large, resulting in very high capacitance of a tantalum capacitor: The tantalum pellet along with the attached tantalum wire form the anode (positive) plate. The external anode lead wire is welded to the tantalum wire.

What causes a tantalum capacitor to rupture?

For tantalum capacitors, this analysis is complicated by diffusion of hydrogen through the tantalum. Absorption of hydrogen in the tantalum case can result in its embrittlement, reduce the strength, and increase the risk of rupture.
