Electronic News, June 10, 2002 by Bernard Levine

KEMET ELECTRONICS CORP. HAS INTRODUCED A NEW TANTAlum surface-mount capacitor line. The T530 Series is a Kemet organic polymer multiple anode tantalum chip capacitor with a polymer material replacing the MnO2 offering non-ignition, self-healing, 125-degree Celsius performance capability with a higher conductivity material that lowers the ESR, the company claimed.

Packaged as multiple anodes to reduce depth that the signal must penetrate, this parallel arrangement reduces the ESR further still to achieve high-capacitance and low ESR, with typical ESR of 7 milliohms, according to the Greenville, S.C., capacitor maker.
