KEMET has developed a new type of tantalum capacitor that
replaces the solid manganese dioxide electrode with a solid
conductive polymer. This product is named the KO-CAP for
KEMET Organic Capacitor. The basic families are the T520,
T525 and T530 series. A separate detail of performance
characteristics is presented here as there are some differences
between the polymer tantalums and the standard
MnO2 types. Like all KEMET tantalum chips, these series
are 100% screened for all electrical parameters:
Capacitance @ 120 Hz, Dissipation Factor (DF) @ 120 Hz,
ESR @ 100 kHZ and DC Leakage. It is also 100% surge current
tested at full rated voltage through a low impedance circuit.
The advantages of the polymer include very low ESR
and elimination of the potentially catastrophic failure mode
that may occur with standard tantalum capacitors in a high
current application. Although the natural KO-CAP series failure
mechanism is a short circuit, it does not exhibit an
explosive failure mode.
