The KEMET T598 series utilizes the latest advancements in materials and design to deliver a surface-mount polymer capacitor that is fully AEC-Q200 qualified. The solid-state polymer cathode system delivers low ESR while the tantalum anode ensures reliability levels that far exceed the lifetime use of a vehicle. Additional features include stable capacitance across voltage and temperature, no loss of capacitance due to aging or dryout, high humidity handling, excellent shock and vibration performance, low-profile design, small footprint, and a benign failure mode. The series is RoHS compliant and halogen-free.

Typical applications include DC/DC converters for input and output voltages of 1 V to 48 V where a fully-qualified AEC-Q200 part is required due to harsh conditions where high humidity and temperature are a concern.
