Surface Mount Hybrid Aluminum Polymer Capacitors
A780 125°C
Overview
Applications
KEMET’s A780 is a surface mount conductive
polymer hybrid capacitor with outstanding electrical
performance. The A780 winding is housed in a
cylindrical aluminum can with a high/quality rubber
deck. Low ESR is conditioned by a highly conductive
polymer (PEDOT/PSS). The polymer system creates
an electrical pathway between the anodic oxide layer
and the cathode through a mechanical separator
- paper. The A780 winding is impregnated with
liquid electrolyte that translates to the self-healing
features of the capacitor. Thanks to its mechanical
robustness, the A780 is suitable for use in mobile,
automotive and aircraft installations with operation up
to +125°C.
KEMET’s A780 is a series of high-performance surface
mount hybrid capacitors. Due to its mechanical
robustness, the A780 is suitable for use in mobile,
automotive and aircraft installations with extremely high
demands and operation up to +125°C.

Environmental Compliance
As an environmentally conscious company, KEMET is working continuously with improvements concerning the environmental
effects of both our capacitors and their production. In Europe (RoHS Directive) and in some other geographical areas like China,
legislation has been put in place to prevent the use of some hazardous materials, such as lead (Pb), in electronic equipment.
All products in this catalogue are produced to help our customers’ obligations to guarantee their products and fulfil these
legislative requirements. The only material of concern in our products has been lead (Pb), which has been removed from all
designs to fulfil the requirement of containing less than 0.1% of lead in any homogeneous material. KEMET will closely follow
any changes in legislation worldwide and makes any necessary changes in its products, whenever needed. Some customer
segments such as medical, military and automotive electronics may still require the use of lead in electrode coatings. To clarify
the situation and distinguish products from each other, a special symbol is used on the packaging labels for RoHS compatible
capacitors.
Due to customer requirements, there may appear additional markings such as LF = Lead-free or LFW = Lead-free wires
on the label.

Shelf Life & Re-Ageing
Shelf Life
Solderability is 12 months
The capacitance, ESR and impedance of a capacitor will not change significantly after extended storage periods, however the
leakage current will slowly increase.
• This series should not be stored in high temperatures or where there is a high level of humidity.
• The suitable storage condition is +5 to +35°C and less than 75% in relative humidity.
• Do not store in damp conditions such as water, saltwater spray or oil spray.
• Do not store in an environment full of hazardous gas (hydrogen sulphide, sulphurous acid gas, nitrous acid, chlorine gas,
ammonium, etc.)
•Do not store under exposure to ozone, ultraviolet rays or radiation.
If a capacitor has been stored for more than 12 months under these conditions and it shows increased leakage current,
then a treatment by voltage application is recommended. The Capacitor should be soldered within 7 days after unpack.
MSL Rating 2A
Re-age Procedure
Apply the rated DC voltage to the capacitor at 125°C for a period of 120 minutes through a 1 kΩ series resistor.

1 Capacitor mounted on PCB, Lop: 3,000 hours
2 Capacitor mounted with low thermal resistance path (heat-sink), Lop: 2,000 hours
KEMET technology allows to achieve enhanced ripple performance by adding a heat sink solution. This component acts as a dissipator of generated
heat, granting effective cooling of the capacitor system. (Contact KEMET Aluminium Innovation Center for details and recommendations)
Installing
Hybrid Polymer Aluminum Capacitors are prone to a change in leakage current due to thermal stress during soldering. The
leakage current may increase after soldering or reflow soldering. Therefore, verify the suitability for use in circuits sensitive
to leakage current. Depending on the nature of the circuit, it may be recommended to follow the re-aging procedure before
application.
A general principle is that lower temperature operation results in a longer, useful life of the capacitor. For this reason, it
should be ensured that Hybrid Polymer Aluminum capacitors are placed away from heat-emitting components. Adequate
space should be allowed between components for cooling air to circulate, especially when high ripple current loads are
applied. In any case, the maximum rated temperature must not be exceeded.
• Do not deform the case of capacitors or use capacitors with a deformed case.
• Verify that the connections of the capacitors are able to insert on the board without excessive mechanical force.
Excessive force during insertion, as well as after soldering may cause terminal damage and affect the electrical
performance.
• Ensure electrical insulation between the capacitor case, negative terminal, positive terminal and PCB.
• If the capacitors require mounting through additional means, the recommended mounting accessories shall be used.
• Verify the correct polarization of the capacitor on the board.
KEMET recommends, to ensure that the voltage across each capacitor does not exceed its rated voltage.

DC Life Formula
Expected DC operational life (Lop, in k hours) can be calculated in accordance to the following equation:
Lop=27×2((85-T)/15)
Where:
Lop: Life at maximum permissible operating temperature with rated operating voltage applied (k hour).
T: Ambient operating temperature (ºC). Recommended to use the formula for the range 85ºC to 125ºC.

Electrical Parameters across Frequency Range
Due to the conductive polymer and electrolyte, Hybrid Aluminum Polymer Capacitors feature higher conductivity. Therefore,
ESR and Impedance of these capacitors are significantly lower than that of a standard electrolytic capacitor at higher
frequencies. This allows an Hybrid Aluminum Polymer capacitor to replace several standard electrolytic capacitors, reducing
the number of components and maximizing board space.
