GREENVILLE, S.C., Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- KEMET
Corporation (NYSE: KEM), a leading manufacturer of tantalum,
ceramic, aluminum, film, paper and electrolytic capacitors, today
announced it is featuring a variety of its most recent releases of
tantalum capacitors this week at Electronica 2012 in
Munich, Germany.

"Electronica is the ideal venue in which to showcase KEMET's
most recent developments in tantalum technology, which encompass a
wide range of capabilities and applications," stated Cristina Mota Caetano, KEMET Technical Product
Marketing Director, Tantalum Business Group. "It is especially
exciting to have the opportunity to demonstrate one of the key
features of the T550 Polymer Hermetic Seal Series. Come by our
booth and observe the superior capacitance stability of the polymer
hermetic seal versus wet tantalum when temperature is reduced and
frequency is increased," continued Ms. Mota
Caetano.
KEMET's T550 Polymer Hermetic Seal (PHS) Series is a
tantalum capacitor with a Ta anode and Ta2O5
dielectric. A conductive organic polymer replaces the traditionally
used MnO2 or wet electrolyte as the cathode plate of the
capacitor, which results in very low ESR and improved capacitance
retention at high frequency and low temperature.
The Hi-Rel Polymer Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS)
T540/T541 has been designed, manufactured and tested to insure
high reliability and robust performance characteristics. "With ESR
as low as 6 milliohms, the T540/T541 results in significantly lower
capacitance roll-off at frequency and temperature," stated
Mota Caetano. "Along with excellent
power dissipating ability, this provides ripple current capability
approximately three times higher than the equivalent
MnO2 capacitor."
Another featured product in the polymer family is the T543
Polymer COTS Series, which offers over 300 discrete part
numbers including options for termination finish, ESR and surge
current testing with voltage ranges from 2.5 V to 50 V.
The T545 High Energy Series was developed with
deliverable energy in a single discrete device as the major
attribute for design activity. KEMET's roadmap for this product
reflects deliverable energy versus other characteristics typically
associated with capacitors, such as capacitance, DF, ESR, leakage
current, and ESL. "Quite simply, the T545 Series can deliver the
most energy of any tantalum capacitor offered today," concluded
Mota Caetano.
KEMET's T513 Multiple Anode MnO2 Hi-Rel COTS
product is designed as a high reliability product suitable for
defense and aerospace applications. The T513 Series can be ordered
with various options including Weibull Grading, termination options
and surge current options.
