KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP
®
) – High Reliability
T540/T541 COTS Polymer Electrolytic for
High Reliability Applications, 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 COTS Polymer Electrolytic offers the
same performance advantages as other KO-CAP series
with screening options associated with high reliability ("Hi-
Rel") applications. These Commerical-Off-The-Shelf (COTS)
grade components offer several surge current screening
options.
The recommended application derating for these capacitors
is 10 – 20%, rendering them suitable for application voltages
from 2.5 to 63 VDC.
These Series are the first polymer electrolytic capacitor
available with failure rate options as defined by KEMET's
KO-CAP Reliability Assessment method. This method utilizes
accelerated conditions (voltage and temperature) applied to
board-mounted samples to assess long term device reliability.
The failure rates available are B (0.1% per 1,000 hours), C
(0.01% per 1,000 hours) and D (0.001% per 1,000 hours).
The KO-CAP Reliability Assessment method was developed
as a result of over 10 years of research and is described in
numerous papers available on www.kemet.com.

KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP
®
) – High Reliability
T540/T541 COTS Polymer Electrolytic for High Reliability Applications, 2.5 – 63 VDC
Applications
Typical applications include decoupling , filtering and hold-up in defense and aerospace applications that require low ESR or
a benign failure mode.
When extreme temperatures and humidity are taken into account, polymer capacitors offer a number of advantages over
other types of capacitors. KEMET continues to investigate the behavior of polymer capacitors in extreme conditions. If
you have questions about using these capacitors in a specific environment or application, we suggest you contact your
local KEMET representative or Field Application Engineer. You may also refer to “Considerations for Polymer Capacitors in
Extreme Environments” located at
www.kemet.com/ExtremePolymerPaper.
Environmental Compliance
RoHS Compliant (6/6) according to Directive 2002/95/EC when ordered with 100% Sn solder. Halogen Free.

within stated specification limits after 1,000 hours of continuous operation and/or storage at +125°C. Long-term duty cycles or storage at or above
+125°C may result in an increase in ESR performance outside of the stated specification limits.
