KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP
®
)
T52X/T530 Polymer Electrolytic Capacitors
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 T52x/T530 Series provides the widest range of voltages, capacitance and case size options in the KO-CAP family and is
suitable for general purpose DC applications for up to 48 volt DC voltage rails.
Benefits
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
ESR values down to 5 mOhms
Stable capacitance across temperature and voltage

Applications
Typical applications include DC/DC converters, audio/sound circuits (mobile phone and base stations, smart phones, MP3
players), power supply inputs, portable electronics (notebook PCs, displays, SSDs, HDDs and USBs, digital cameras, GPS
navigation systems, WiFi modules), telecommunications, consumer electronics (analytical and test equipment, high speed
servers), high voltage applications such as 12 V to 48 V power input rails, densely populated circuits with space restrictions,
microprocessor decoupling and high ripple current applications.
