Introduction

KEMET entered the world of aluminum capacitors with the introduction of the AO-CAP, designated the A700 Series, which has been targeted for power management applications. The structure of the AO-CAP uses aluminum as the anode material, aluminum oxide as the dielectric, and a conductive organic polymer for its counter-electrode material. The A700 series is 100 screened for all electrical parameters: Capacitance @ 120Hz, Dissipation Factor (DF) @ 120 Hz, ESR @ 100 kHz, and DC Leakage.
