Radiation Tolerance of Tantalum Polymer Capacitors
Published: August 24, 2026, 2:00 pm
Environments rich in ionizing radiation create a particularly difficult functional challenge for electronic components. Spacecraft, nuclear reactors, particle accelerators, and hardened military equipment (to name a few examples) demand that their electrical systems operate correctly, even in the presence of high energy particles, cosmic rays, X-rays, and the like. Such radiation adversely affects electronics in […]
