KEMET Enhances its Hi-Rel COTS KO-CAP® Polymer Electrolytic Device Offering with Extended Life Test Option
June 14 2017 - 4:15PM
KEMET Corporation (NYSE:KEM), a leading supplier of electronic
components, has introduced the industry’s first COTS grade polymer
electrolytic capacitor with a 1,000-hour life test option. The new
option, also known as the “Biased Humidity Test,” provides
capacitors qualified at 85 degrees Celsius with 85% relative
humidity at rated voltage applied for 1,000 hours. The test type
provides capacitors qualified to the rigors of MIL-STD-202 Method
103.
KEMET’s T540 COTS polymer electrolytic capacitors are typically
used for decoupling in DC-DC converters or as hold-up capacitors in
energy storage applications. Capacitance values up to 680
microfarads are available with the new extended life test option.
Voltage ratings span 2.5 to 63 VDC and ESR specifications as low as
twenty-five milliohms are available. The small surface mount form
factor of the Hi-Rel COTS grade KO-CAP devices reduce board space
requirements.
“Exposing polymer electrolytic capacitors to humidity had been a
challenge. We first introduced the T598 automotive grade KO-CAP in
2015; now we are excited to offer a COTS grade KO-CAP that passes
the same extended life test,” said Dr. Philip Lessner, Senior Vice
President and Chief Technology Officer, KEMET. “This announcement
is important because designers can take advantage of the polymer
electrolytic technology in their high reliability and mission
critical applications.”
