KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP
®
) – High Reliability
T543 COTS Polymer Electrolytic, 2.5 – 63 VDC
Overview
The KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP) is a solid
electrolytic capacitor with a conductive polymer cathode
capable of delivering very low ESR and improved
capacitance retention at high frequencies. KO-CAP
combines the low ESR of 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 T543 COTS Polymer Electrolytic capacitor is an
upscreened version of the industrial T520 KO-CAP. The
T543's upscreened option includes surge current testing of
10 cycles at +25°C and 10 cycles at -55°C/+85°C. In addition
to 100% Tin (Sn) terminations, a tin-lead (SnPb) option is
also available. The recommended application derating for
these capacitors is 10 – 20%, rendering them suitable for
application voltages from 2.25 to 50 VDC.

Applications
Typical applications include DC/DC converters, switch mode and point of load power supply, radar pulse capacitor, and
telecommunications (mobile phone and base station). Other general applications include decoupling and filtering in
applications requiring low ESR or a benign failure mode.
When extreme temperatures and humidity are taken into account, polymer tantalum capacitors offer a number of
advantages over other types of capacitors, when used in extreme environments. KEMET continues to investigate the
behavior of polymer tantalum capacitors in extreme conditions. If you have questions about using these capacitors in
a specific environment or application, we suggest you contact your local representative or field application engineer to
discuss the specific details of your application (see “Considerations for Polymer Capacitors in Extreme Environments”
located at www.kemet.com/ExtremePolymerPaper).

KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP
®
) – High Reliability
T543 COTS Polymer Electrolytic, 2.5 – 63 VDC
Reliability
KO-CAP capacitors have an average failure rate of 0.5 %/1,000 hours at category voltage, U
C
, and category temperature,
T
C
. These capacitors are qualified using industry test standards at U
C
and T
C
. The minimum test time (1,000 hours or 2,000
hours) is dependent on the product.
The actual life expectancy of KO-CAP capacitors increases when application voltage, U
A
, and application temperature, T
A
,
are lower than U
C
and T
C
. As a general guideline, when U
A
< 0.9 * U
C
and T
A
< 85°C, the life expectancy will typically exceed
the useful lifetime of most hardware (> 10 years).
The lifetime of a KO-CAP capacitor at a specific application voltage and temperature can be modeled using the equations
below. A failure is defined as passing enough current to blow a 1-amp fuse. The calculation is an estimation based on
empirical results and is not a guarantee.
