Tantalum polymer capacitors for applications requiring high capacitance and voltage

KEMET has unveiled a new Tantalum Stack Polymer (TSP) O 7360-43 and the 82uF/75V rated voltage extension in Polymer Hermetically Sealed.

The TSP series is designed to provide the highest capacitance/voltage (CV) ratings in surface mount device (SMD) capacitors with its innovative stacking construction.

These new capacitors are intended for use in high voltage power management applications such as buck boost converters, filtering, hold-up capacitors, and other high ripple current applications that require a small form factor, stable performance, and long operational lifespan.

KEMET’s KO-CAP High Reliability Series T540, T541 and T543 are all available for stack configuration in the TSP series. When stacked, these capacitors allow design engineers to customise for capacitance, voltage, and low ESR (equivalent series resistance). This feature makes the TSP series suitable for devices using Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductor technology, including radar applications based on the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) systems.

The TSP series also offers improved derating conditions and larger capacitance to ensure a low failure rate for typical voltage levels, as well as multiple failure rate options when utilizing Series T540 and T541 in a stack configuration.

The TSP series is qualified for numerous applications, including airborne, grounded, and naval equipment where GaN radio frequency (RF) semiconductors are part of the design.
