Aluminum Organic Capacitor (AO-CAP)
A700 Series Polymer Aluminum
Overview
The KEMET Aluminum Organic Capacitor (AO-CAP) is a solid
state aluminum capacitor with an aluminum oxide dielectric and
conductive polymer cathode. The use of the conductive polymer
cathode results in very low ESR and improved capacitance
retention at high frequency. AO-CAP's may be operated at
steady state voltages up to 100% of rated voltage (no derating)
with equivalent or better reliability than tantalum capacitors
operating at the recommended derated voltage.
The A700 Series AO-CAP offers the same advantages as the
polymer tantalum capacitors but also has the added advantages
of 125°C performance capability, higher ripple current handling
capability and a lower ESR range. Packaged with multiple anodes/
elements to reduce the depth that the signal must penetrate, this
parallel arrangement reduces the ESR further still to achieve
lower ESR than other types of surface mount capacitors with
similar capacitance ranges. With reduced ESR, the enhanced
capacitance retention at higher frequencies provides the
lowest total capacitance and an economical solution for power
applications.
