Tantalum (Ta) capacitors and multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are two widely accepted capacitor technologies that can be employed in a wide range of electronics applications. Although both technologies perform the same basic function, they are very different in terms of their construction techniques, materials, and performance under various conditions, so it’s important to understand the potential impact of selecting one over the other.

It is common knowledge that leads time is often a critical aspect of Procurement of EEE parts for Space Applications. Some specific family types usually suffer from having long lead times (more than 1 year on some occasions), which makes them a major driver on any procurement. One of the most affected families are Space Qualified Panel C Mounted EMI filters.

Design teams are now eyeing supercapacitors for a range of new products in energy harvesting, office automation, backup systems, and more. These supercapacitor cells provide efficient storage that can quickly discharge energy on demand. To ensure peak performance and a long product life cycle, the supercapacitor’s voltage must be balanced. If an imbalance occurs due to leakage current differences between the cells, an energy drain could be triggered, causing the supercapacitor cells to fail prematurely.
