The tantalum foil capacitor was introduced around 1950. It was developed to provide a more reliable form of electrolytic capacitor without the shelf life limitations of the aluminium electrolytic capacitor. It was able to be developed as a result of the availability of high purity tantalum foils and wires. Initially plain foil variants were introduced, but this was quickly followed by etched variants.

The purity of the materials used plays a major part in determining the leakage current of this type of tantalum capacitor.

These tantalum capacitors have a higher capacitance density than their aluminium electrolytic counterparts. They can often operate at temperatures up to about 120C and therefore they are often used in equipment used in extreme conditions.
