Overview

The KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP) is a solid electrolytic capacitor with a conductive polymer cathode capable of delivering very low ESR and improved capacitance retention at high frequencies. KO-CAP combines the low ESR of multilayer ceramic, the high capacitance of aluminum electrolytic and the volumetric efficiency of tantalum into a single surface mount package. Unlike liquid electrolyte-based capacitors, KO-CAP has a very long operational life and high ripple current capabilities.

Benefits

• Ultra-low ESR

• Full compliance with AEC–Q200 Qualification Test Plan (T598)

• Qualification plan based on AEC–Q200 with 85°C/85 RH load specification limited to 500 hours (T591)

• TS 16949 certified plant

• Subject to PPAP/PSW and Change Control

• Meets or exceeds EIA standard 535BAAC

• Taped and reeled per EIA 481

• Halogen-free epoxy/RoHS compliant

Applications

Typical applications include decoupling and filtering in a variety of market segments, with special emphasis in automotive applications such as infotainment and input/output in DC/DC converters where harsh conditions such as high humidity and temperature are a concern.
