KEMET Introduces KONNEKT Technology Enabling Higher Power Densities in Smaller Form Factors
March 01 2018 - 8:45AM
KEMET Corporation (NYSE:KEM), a leading global
supplier of electronic components, today announced new patented
KONNEKT technology enabling high power density by combining
multiple components into a single surface mountable package. This
technology is designed for use by power electronics engineers where
high-power density in a small form factor is critical.
Developed in partnership with prominent power electronics
designers to create a leadless multichip solution for
high-efficiency and high-density power converters, KONNEKT
technology utilizes innovative transient liquid phase sintering
(TLPS). These devices can be mounted to PCBs using existing reflow
processes. Capacitors utilizing KONNEKT technology have the unique
ability to be mounted in a low-loss orientation to further increase
their power handling capability.
The first release of KONNEKT technology will combine KEMET’s
ultra-stable U2J dielectric to create a low-loss,
low-inductance package capable of handling very high ripple current
in the hundreds of kilohertz range. KEMET will deploy this advanced
RoHS compliant, 100% Pb-free technology across multiple product
platforms.
“Power electronics engineers asked for a solution to help
achieve higher efficiency in smaller packages,” said Dr. John
Bultitude, KEMET Vice President and Technical Fellow. “KEMET’s
KONNEKT technology delivers through increased efficiency by
combining multiple capacitors into a single high density, ultra-low
loss package.”
