Organic capacitor offers attractive combination of performance capabilities

The Kemet organic capacitor is now available from Farnell element14. Combining the low ESR of multilayer ceramic, the high capacitance of aluminium electrolytic and the volumetric efficiency of tantalum into a single surface mount package, the Kemet organic capacitor (KO-CAP) offers low ESR and improved retention at high frequencies, with a long operational life and high ripple current capabilities. Developed for high stability and reliability under harsh environmental conditions, the T598 features special enhancements to deliver 1,000 hours under 85C/85% RH/VR and to fully comply with AEC-Q200 Qualification Testing. The T598 is manufactured in a ISO TS 16949 certified plant and is subjected to PPAP/PSW and change control. 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.
