Overview
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.
