KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP) T545 Series High Energy Polymer Tantalum Overview The KEMET Organic Capacitor is a tantalum capacitor with a The T545 Series was developed to deliver the highest energy per Ta anode and Ta O dielectric. A conductive organic polymer CC of any tantalum surface mount device (SMD). This capability 2 5 replaces the traditionally used MnO as the cathode plate makes this capacitor an excellent solution for designs requiring 2 of the capacitor. This results in very low ESR and improved high energy at relatively low voltages, such as data hardening or capacitance retention at high frequency. The polymer data vaulting for solid state drives (SSD s). The T545 Series High technology also exhibits a benign failure mode which eliminates Energy Polymer Tantalum Surface Mount Capacitor captures the ignition failures that can occur in standard MnO tantalum the best features of multilayer ceramic capacitors (low ESR and 2 types. Ta polymers may be operated at voltages up to 90% of high frequency capacitance retention), aluminum electrolytic r ate d vo lt age for par t t y p es w it h r ate d vo lt ages of 10 vo lt s capacitors (higher capacitance and benign failure mode) and and up to 80% of rated voltage for part types > 10 volts with pr oven s o li d t ant alum tec hno l o gy (vo lum et r ic ef fi c i ency, sur f ac e equivalent or better reliability than traditional MnO tantalum mount capability and extremely long life). In addition, this series is 2 capacitors operated at 50% of rated voltage. subjected to 100% thermal shock and voltage aging to insure long term reliability. Benefits Extremely low ESR High energy delivery capability -55C to 125C operating temperature range Polymer cathode technology High frequency capacitance retention Non-ignition failure mode Capacitance up to 1,500 F Voltage: 6.3 16 V 100% accelerated steady state aging 100% surge current tested 100% thermal shock Vo lum et r ic ef fi c i ency, ver y hi gh c apac it anc e Self-healing mechanism Taped and reeled per EIA 481, EIA standard case sizes Applications Typical applications include hold-up, data hardening or vaulting for enterprise and military SSDs, and high end desktop modems.
