Tantalum capacitors

16 May 2012 Passive Components

KEMET announced the expansion of its KO-CAP conductive polymer portfolio with the release of the T522 reduced leakage polymer tantalum series. T522 series capacitors are an ideal solution for applications that seek high capacitance, low ESR, low profile, safety and low power consumption.

The T522 series is an organic capacitor which utilises organic conductive polymer as the cathode plate of the capacitor and is designed to meet the needs of leakage sensitive applications such as battery supported circuits. KEMET offers this solution in low-profile and standard case height configurations with capacitance values up to 470 μF in 6,3 V ratings and ESR offerings as low as 25 mΩ.

The KO-CAP is a tantalum capacitor with a Ta anode and a Ta2O5 dielectric. KO-CAP devices eliminate the ignition failures that can occur in standard MnO2 tantalum types and may also be operated at steady state voltages up to 90% of rated voltage.

Typical applications for the T522 series include battery-dependent applications such as handheld consumer electronics, global tracking systems, wireless sensors and energy harvesting.
