KEMET Polymer Hermetic Seal (PHS) Capacitors

KEMET Polymer Hermetic Seal (PHS) Capacitors are tantalum capacitors with axial through hole and SMD mounting options. These capacitors include a conductive organic polymer that offers low ESR and improved capacitance retention at low temperature and high frequency. The PHS capacitors demonstrate a benign failure mode, which removes the breach case that can occur in wet tantalum capacitors. Typical applications include buck/boost converters, power supplies, and hold-up capacitors.

T550 PHS Capacitors

KEMET Polymer Hermetic Seal (PHS) Capacitors

The T550 PHS Capacitors operate at 105°C maximum temperature and are qualified according to the DLA drawing 13030 standards. These axial leaded capacitors include an F-tech anode that removes hidden defects in the dielectric.
