The KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP) is a solid electrolytic capacitor with a conductive polymer cathode, capable of delivering very low ESR and an improved capacitance retention at high frequencies. KO-CAP combines the low ESR of the multilayer ceramic, the high capacitance of aluminum electrolytic and the volumetric efficiency of tantalum into a single surface mount package. Unlike liquid electrolyte-based capacitors, KO-CAP has a very long operational life and high ripple current capabilities. The T598 series has introduced enhancements to the design and selected materials to deliver 1,000 hours at 85°C/85% RH rated voltage and fully complies with the AEC-Q200 qualification testing with maximum operational temperature life up to 150°C. These capacitors are manufactured in an ISO TS 16949 certified plant and are subjected to PPAP/PSW, as well as change control.
