Meeting 100% of all the requirements of the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC)-Q200 Stress Test Qualification for Passive components. KEMET's T598 series utilizes the latest advancements in materials and design to deliver the only 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 dry out, 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 12 V where a fully qualified AEC-Q200 part is required due to harsh conditions where high humidity and temperature are a concern.
