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 and tantalum.Copyright © 1981-2019 by The Computer Language Company Inc. All Rights reserved.
