Wet Electrolyte Tantalum Capacitors: An Introduction to the …

In the tantalum electrolytic capacitor, the distance between the plates is very small since it is only the thickness of the tantalum pentoxide film. As the dielectric constant of the tantalum pentoxide is high, the capacitance of a tantalum capacitor is high if the area of the plates is large: where C = capacitance e = dielectric constant

Surface Mount Tantalum

coplanar parts like tantalum capacitors but is a major factor with non-coplanar parts like integrated circuits (ICs). Thicker solder paste laydown is needed to fill gaps that are left when the IC leads are not in the same plane, minimizing missing solder joints on those devices. Solder surface tension is the defect

The Kemet T350E106K016AT is a 10 µF, 10%, 16 volt, radial lead tantalum capacitor. It offers the advantages of small size, low leakage, and low dissipation factor for filtering, bypass, AC coupling, and timing applications. The final electrolytic capacitor type is the niobium oxide electrolytic.

vintage tantalum capacitor replacement

If the capacitors are not properly derated, they simply need to be replaced by components that are derated. So for a 15 volt power rail a 100 uF should be replaced by a 100 uF, 35 volt tantalum. It is hard for me to imagine replacing with an electrolytic cap as these have clearly stated, relatively short lifetimes.
