Overview
The KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP) is a tantalum
capacitor with a Ta anode and Ta2O5 dielectric. A conductive
organic polymer replaces the traditionally used MnO2 as the
cathode plate of the capacitor. This results in very low ESR and
improved capacitance retention at high frequency. Combining
this advancement with the use of a multiple anode design
delivers the lowest ESR values available in the industry. The
KO-CAP may also be operated at steady state voltages at up
to90%ofratedvoltageforparttypeswithratedvoltagesof≤10
volts and up to 80% of rated voltage for part types > 10 volts.
The T541 Series KO-CAP offers the same advantages as the
T530 Series but is also designed for the Commercial Off-the-Shelf
(COTS) requirements of defense and aerospace applications. This
surfacemountproductoffersatinlead(SnPb)leadframenish,
surge current testing options and standard or low ESR levels.

* KEMET’s Polymer COTS (T540/T541 Series) capacitors are rated for operation between -55°C and +125°C. Parametric electrical performance remains within
stated specication 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 specication limits.

Ripple Current/Ripple Voltage
Permissible AC ripple voltage and current are related to equivalent
series resistance (ESR) and the power dissipation capabilities of
the device. Permissible AC ripple voltage which may be applied is
limited by two criteria:
1. The positive peak AC voltage plus the DC bias voltage, if any,
must not exceed the DC voltage rating of the capacitor.
2. The negative peak AC voltage in combination with bias
voltage,ifany,mustnotexceedtheallowablelimitsspeciedfor
reverse voltage. See the Reverse Voltage section for allowable
limits.
The maximum power dissipation by case size can be determined
using the table at right. The maximum power dissipation rating
stated in the table must be reduced with increasing environmental
operating temperatures. Refer to the table below for temperature
compensation requirements.

Using the P max of the device, the maximum allowable rms ripple
current or voltage may be determined.
I(max) = √P max/R
E(max) = Z √P max/R
I = rms ripple current (amperes)
E = rms ripple voltage (volts)

Density Level A: For low-density product applications. Recommended for wave solder applications and
provides a wider process window for reow solder processes.
Density Level B: For products with a moderate level of component density. Provides a robust solder
attachment condition for reow solder processes.
Density Level C: For high component desity product applications. Before adapting the minimum land
pattern variations the user should perform qualication testing based on the conditions outlined in IPC
standard 7351 (IPC–7351).
¹ Height of these chips may create problems in wave soldering.
2 Land pattern geometry is too small for silkscreen outline.

Soldering Process
KEMET’s families of surface mount capacitors are compatible
withwave(singleordual),convection,IR,orvaporphasereow
techniques. Preheating of these components is recommended
toavoidextremethermalstress.KEMET'srecommended
proleconditionsforconvectionandIRreowreecttheprole
conditions of the IPC/J–STD–020D standard for moisture
sensitivity testing. The devices can safely withstand a maximum
ofthreereowpassesattheseconditions.
Please note that although the X/7343–43 case size can withstand
wavesoldering,thetallprole(4.3mmmaximum)dictatescarein
wave process development.
Handsolderingshouldbeperformedwithcareduetothedifculty
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
andthetermination,untilreowoccurs.Oncereowoccurs,the
iron should be removed immediately. “Wiping” the edges of a chip
and heating the top surface is not recommended.
Duringtypicalreowoperations,aslightdarkeningofthegold-
colored epoxy may be observed. This slight darkening is normal
and not harmful to the product. Marking permanency is not
affected by this change.

circuitry or redundancies) in order to ensure that the failure of an electrical component does not result in a risk of personal injury or property damage.
Although all product–related warnings, cautions and notes must be observed, the customer should not assume that all safety measures are indicted or that other measures may not
be required.
