KEMET has successfully launched several High Reliability Tantalum Polymer SMD solutions to the market during the last years. The existing series T540/T541 based on the Mil 55365 specification and T583 ESCC3012/005 provide better capacitance stability, better capacitance retention, lower ESR, higher ripple handling, and long life combined with extreme requirements of Military, Defense and Aerospace applications. Leading the market and bringing innovation to these high demanding segments drive us to continuously expand our portfolio. We will up-date you on T580/T581 1st to market Military Polymer Standard and the T584 series, the ESA ultra-low ESR expansion.

• PEDT is a conductive organic polymer
Polymerization reaction with monomer and oxidant at lower
temperature; ‘soft thin film’ – NON-STRESS INTERFACE
• MnO2 is Manganese Dioxide

PEDT
MnO2
PEDOT (poly-ethylenedioxythiophene) is technically classified as a
semiconductor; however, it is highly conductive relative to MnO2. The conductivity for
PEDOT is in the range of 100 to 1,000 S/cm, while MnO2 is in the range of 1 to 10 S/cm.
