KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP ) High Reliability T541 COTS Polymer Electrolytic for High Reliability Applications, 2.5 63 VDC Overview The KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP) is a solid electrolytic anode design of the T541 offers lower ESR options than the T540, capacitor with a conductive polymer cathode capable of resulting in high ripple current capability and higher frequency delivering very low ESR and improved capacitance retention at capacitance retention. The recommended application derating high frequencies. KO-CAP combines the low ESR of multilayer for these capacitors is 10 20%, rendering them suitable for ceramic, the high capacitance of aluminum electrolytic and the application voltages from 2.25 to 50 VDC. volumetr ic ef cfi iency of t ant alum into a single sur fac e mount package.
