Voltage Derating Rules for Solid Tantalum and Niobium Capacitors Written By: Tomáš Zedníček | John Gill Abstract: For many years, whenever people have asked tantalum capacitor manufacturers for general recommendations on using their product, the consensus was "a minimum of 50% voltage derating should be applied".

Niobium and tantalum are transition metals that are almost always found together in nature because they have very similar physical and chemical properties. Their properties of hardness, conductivity, and resistance to corrosion largely determine their primary uses today. The leading use of niobium (about 75 percent) is in the production of high-strength steel alloys used in pipelines ...

Tantalum occurs as complex pentoxide minerals in association with niobium and tin. It is recovered by gravity separation followed by pyrometallurgical processes, and then solvent extraction to produce Ta 2 O 5 as the starting material for carbide production, or K 2 TaF 7 as the starting material for the production of tantalum metal for super ...

Generally, the tantalum values in solution are converted into potassium tantalum fluoride (K 2 TaF 7) or tantalum oxide (Ta 2 O 5). The niobium is recovered as niobium oxide (Nb 2 O 5 ) via neutralization of the niobium fluoride complex with ammonia to form the hydroxide, followed by calcination to the oxide.

With the recent introduction of niobium and niobium oxide capacitor technologies, the derating discussion has been extended to these capacitor families also.

Previous work done in 1978 defined at least one possible flowsheet, which achieved overall recoveries of 77% of tantalum and 80% of niobium into separate purified and marketable products. These tests also indicated that higher recoveries should be possible with process refinement and flowsheet optimisation.
