KEMET T543 Series Polymer COTS

T543 Series Polymer COTS

The T543 Series Polymer COTS is an upscreened version of KEMET's commercial polymer product offering and captures the best features of multilayer ceramic capacitors (low ESR, high frequency capacitance retention), aluminum electrolytic capacitors (higher capacitance, benign failure mode), and proven solid tantalum technology (volumetric efficiency, surface mount capability, extremely long life). The T543 also offers an option for surge current testing (10 cycles at +25ºC and 10 cycles at -55ºC/+85ºC) and termination finish (SnPb and 100% Sn).
