The recommended dielectric material for capacitors used in space electronics is ______.

  • A.tantalum pentoxide
  • B.impregnated special craft paper
  • C.metallised polypropylene
  • D.thin layer of glass

Answer: A

For capacitors used in space electronics the key gives tantalum pentoxide as the dielectric: tantalum capacitors have a very high capacitance for their size and weight, with a stable and long-lasting oxide film, which is needed in space. Impregnated paper, metallised polypropylene and glass are used in other capacitors but are bulkier or less suited to the weight and reliability needs. The answer is tantalum pentoxide, option (A), and the question is a recall item.
