KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP®) – Automotive
T598 High Performance Automotive Grade Polymer Electrolytic, 6.3 – 16 VDC
Soldering Process
KEMET’s families of surface mount capacitors are compatible
withwave(singleordual),convection,IR,orvaporphasereow
techniques. Preheating of these components is recommended
toavoidextremethermalstress.KEMET'srecommendedprole

Please note that although the X/7343–43 case size can withstand

Handsolderingshouldbeperformedwithcareduetothedifculty
in process control. If performed, care should be taken to avoid
contact of the soldering iron to the molded case. The iron should
be used to heat the solder pad, applying solder between the pad
andthetermination,untilreowoccurs.Oncereowoccurs,the
iron should be removed immediately. “Wiping” the edges of a chip
and heating the top surface is not recommended.
