Hybrid Axial Capacitors
PHA226, +150°C, Hybrid Axial, AEC-Q200
Overview
Applications
KEMET’s PHA226 is a conductive polymer hybrid capacitor
with outstanding electrical performance. The device has
a polarized all-welded design, tinned copper wire leads,
and a negative pole connected to the case. The PHA226
winding is housed in a cylindrical aluminum can with a
high purity aluminum lid and high-quality rubber gasket.
Low ESR is conditioned by a highly conductive polymer
(PEDOT/PSS) and an all-welded design. The polymer
system creates an electrical pathway between the
anodic oxide layer and the cathode through a mechanical
separator - paper. The PHA226 winding is impregnated
with liquid electrolyte that results to self-healing features
of the capacitor. Thanks to its mechanical robustness,
the PHA226 is suitable for use in mobile, automotive and
aircraft installations with operation up to +150°C.
KEMET’s PHA226 is a series of high performance
axial hybrid capacitors. It is designed for automotive
applications with extremely high demands.

Shelf Life
The capacitance, ESR and impedance of a capacitor will not change significantly after extended storage periods at
temperatures up to 40°C, however the leakage current will very slowly increase. After storage for 10 years at +40°C or 1,000
hours at maximum rated temperature with no voltage applied and then being stabilized at +20°C, capacitors shall meet the
limits specified in Endurance.
Environmental Compliance
All Part Numbers in this datasheet are Reach and RoHS compliant and Halogen-Free.
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 such as 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 catalog are produced
to help our customers' obligations to guarantee their products and fulfill these legislative requirements. The only material of
concern in our products has been lead (Pb), which has been removed from all designs to fulfill the requirement of containing
less than 0.1% of lead in any homogeneous material. KEMET will closely follow any changes in legislation world wide 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.

Hybrid Axial Capacitors – PHA226, +150°C, Hybrid Axial, AEC-Q200
Construction Data
The manufacturing process begins with the anode foil being
electrochemically etched to increase the surface area and
then “formed” to produce the aluminum oxide layer. Both the
anode and cathode foils are then interleaved with absorbent
paper and wound into a cylinder. During the winding process,
aluminum tabs are attached to each foil to provide the
electrical contact.
The winding is assembled to the capacitor Al-can and to
the Al-lid. The can is filled with electrolyte and the winding
is impregnated during a vacuum treatment. The capacitor
is sealed. Throughout the process, all materials inside the
housing must be maintained at the highest purity and be
compatible with the electrolyte. Coating with polymer is
applied during manufacturing process to achieve enhanced
performance.
Each capacitor is aged and tested before being packed. The
purpose of aging is to repair any damage in the oxide layer
and thus reduce the leakage current to a very low level. Aging
is carried out at elevated temperature and is accomplished by
applying voltage to the device while carefully controlling the
supply current. The process takes between 2 and 20 hours,
depending on voltage rating.
Damage to the oxide layer can occur due to a variety of
reasons:
• Slitting of the anode foil after forming
• Attaching the tabs to the anode foil
• Minor mechanical damage caused during winding
The following tests are applied for each individual capacitor.
Electrical:
• Leakage current
• Capacitance
• ESR
• Tan Delta
Mechanical/Visual:
• Pull strength test of wire terminals
• Print detail
• Box labels
• Packaging, including packed quantity
