Aluminum Capacitors

AOxsect 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-CAPs 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.
