KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP®) – Industrial
T520 Low ESR Polymer Electrolytic, 2 – 25 VDC
Overview
The KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP) is a solid electrolytic
capacitor with a conductive polymer cathode capable of
The T520 Low ESR Polymer Electrolytic provides the widest range
of voltage, capacitance and case size options in the KO-CAP
family. Suitable for general purpose DC applications up to 12.8
volts, the T520 is ideal for DC-to-DC converters, bulk decoupling
and hold-up.
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
volumetricꢀefficiencyꢀofꢀtantalumꢀintoꢀaꢀsingleꢀsurfaceꢀmountꢀ
package. Unlike liquid electrolyte-based capacitors, KO-CAP has
a very long operational life and high ripple current capabilities.
Benefits
• Extremely low ESR
•ꢀ Volumetricallyꢀefficient
• High frequency capacitance retention
• 100% accelerated steady state aging
• 100% surge current tested
• EIA standard case sizes
• Halogen-Free Epoxy/RoHS Compliant
