tantalum capacitor
A capacitor made out of the precious metal tantalum. The silver-gray tantalum beads, in the form of compacted powder, can store a lot of charge relative to their mass. This enables smaller capacitors to be built, helping to reduce the size of mobile phones. See capacitor.

By the end of 2008, capacitor manufacturers were expecting the price of tantalum capacitors to increase anywhere from 13-40% in response to Talison's announcement, an electronics industry source was quoted as saying in a late January news report.
It is stable with ceramic, aluminum and Tantalum Capacitors and comes in two high power density packages; a thermally enhanced, 8-lead MSOP and a low profile, 6-lead DFN.
The HE-1400 and HE-1600 Series controllers, which are RollS compliant, feature wide tolerance power supplies (12 VDC [+ or -] 25%), locking connectors and low-mass tantalum capacitors for maximum tolerance to shock and vibration, Mil-spec silicon resin conformal coatings, laboratory-certified operating temperature ranges of -40[degrees]C to +80[degrees]C and calculated MTBF in excess of 150K hours (HE-1600) and 200K hours (HE-1400).
