KEMET Introduces First-to-Market Tantalum Stack Polymer Capacitors

KEMET has introduced its new Tantalum Stack Polymer (TSP) Series capacitors. The TSP Series is the first stack solution in the market that utilises organic conductive polymer as the cathode plate of the capacitor. The TSP Series is targeted at applications requiring high capacitance and very low ESR, but with limited board space in the consumer/gaming, computer, medical, military/aerospace, telecommunications, and transportation markets.

“Our new TSP Series surface mountable devices can be specified with a variety of capacitance and performance characteristics by stacking two, three, four, or six standard EIA case size discrete components into just one device, ” said Stanley Garrett, KEMET Technical Product Manager. “These custom combinations result in high capacitance, very low ESR and high ripple current capability in a single footprint, which makes them an ideal solution for applications such as power supplies for a wide range of products.”

KEMET offers this solution with its T540 Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Series capacitors. However, custom stacks are also available with other KEMET Tantalum Surface Mount Polymer Series products.

Technical Information

  • Capacitance values of 66 µF to 4080 µF
  • Voltage rating of 3VDC to 35VDC
  • Surge options available
  • Operating temperature range of -55 ºC to +125 ºC

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
