KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP®) – Miniature
T528 Low ESL Polymer Electrolytic for CPU/GPU Decoupling
Overview
The KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP) is a solid
electrolytic capacitor with a conductive polymer cathode
capable of delivering very low ESR and improved
capacitance retention at high frequencies. KO-CAP
combines the low ESR of multilayer ceramic, the high
capacitance of aluminum electrolytic, and the volumetric
efficiency of tantalum into a single surface mount
package. Unlike liquid electrolyte-based capacitors,
KO-CAP has a very long operational life and high ripple
current capabilities.
The T528 low ESL Facedown Terminal Polymer Electrolytic
combines ultra-low ESR and high capacitance in a package
design that offers the lowest ESL in the market. This
series offers exceptional performance for high-speed
microprocessor, FPGA, or ASIC decoupling designs. The
T528 utilizes a unique termination design that allows for a
reduction in the inductance loop area and comes in a low
profile 1.7 mm case height. This series offers improved
capacitance retention at frequencies of up to 1 MHz.
Benefits
• Low ESL < 0.7 nH at 20 MHz
• Improved volumetric efficiency
• High frequency capacitance retention
• 100% accelerated steady state aging
• 100% surge current tested
• EIA standard case sizes
• Halogen-free epoxy and RoHS compliant
• Lead free 260°C reflow capable

KEMET Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP ®) – Miniature
T528 Low ESL Polymer Electrolytic for CPU/GPU Decoupling
Reliability
KO-CAP capacitors have an average failure rate of 0.5 %/1,000 hours at category voltage, UC, and category temperature, TC.
These capacitors are qualified using industry test standards at UC and TC. The minimum test time (1,000 or 2,000 hours) is
dependent on the product.
The actual life expectancy of KO-CAP capacitors increases when application voltage, UA, and application temperature, TA,
are lower than UC and TC. As a general guideline, when UA < 0.9 * UC and TA < 85°C, the life expectancy will typically exceed
the useful lifetime of most hardware (> 10 years).
The lifetime of a KO-CAP capacitor at a specific application voltage and temperature can be modeled using the equations
below. A failure is defined as passing enough current to blow a 1-Amp fuse. The calculation is an estimation based on
empirical results and is not a guarantee.

Ripple Current/Ripple Voltage
Permissible AC ripple voltage and current are related to
equivalent series resistance (ESR) and the power dissipation
capabilities of the device. Permissible AC ripple voltage
which may be applied is limited by two criteria:
1. The positive peak AC voltage plus the DC bias voltage,
if any, must not exceed the DC voltage rating of the
capacitor.
2. The negative peak AC voltage in combination with
bias voltage, if any, must not exceed the allowable limits
specified for reverse voltage. See the Reverse Voltage
section for allowable limits.
The maximum power dissipation by case size can be
determined using the table at right. The maximum power
dissipation rating stated in the table must be reduced with
increasing environmental operating temperatures. Refer to
the table below for temperature compensation requirements.

Using the P max of the device, the maximum allowable rms

I(max) = √P max/R
E(max) = Z √P max/R
I = rms ripple current (amperes)
E = rms ripple voltage (volts)

Density Level A: For low-density product applications. Recommended for wave solder applications and provides a wider process window for reflow
solder processes.
Density Level B: For products with a moderate level of component density. Provides a robust solder attachment condition for reflow solder processes.
Density Level C: For high component density product applications. Before adapting the minimum land pattern variations the user should perform
qualification testing based on the conditions outlined in IPC standard 7351 (IPC–7351).

Soldering Process
Please note that although the X/7343–43 case size can
withstand wave soldering, the tall profile (4.3 mm maximum)
dictates care in wave process development.
Hand soldering should be performed with care due to the
difficulty in process control. If performed, care should be
taken to avoid contact of the soldering iron to the molded
case. The iron should be used to heat the solder pad,
applying solder between the pad and the termination, until
reflow occurs. Once reflow occurs, the iron should be
removed immediately. “Wiping” the edges of a chip and
heating the top surface is not recommended.

KEMET’s families of surface mount capacitors are
compatible with wave (single or dual), convection, IR,
or vapor phase reflow techniques. Preheating of these
components is recommended to avoid extreme thermal
stress. KEMET's recommended profile conditions for
convection and IR reflow reflect the profile conditions of the
IPC/J–STD–020D standard for moisture sensitivity testing.
The devices can safely withstand a maximum of three reflow
passes at these conditions.

Storage
All KO-CAP series are shipped in moisture barrier bags (MBBs) with desiccant and humidity indicator card (HIC). These
parts are classified as MSL3 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 3) per IPC/JEDEC J–STD–020 and packaged per IPC/JEDEC
J–STD–033. MSL3 specifies a floor time of 168 H at 30°C maximum temperature and 60% relative humidity. Unused
capacitors should be sealed in a MBB with fresh desiccant.
The calculated shelf life in a sealed bag would be 12 months from a bag seal date in a storage environment of < 40°C and
humidity < 90% RH. It should be 24 months from a bag seal date in a storage environment of < 30°C and humidity < 70% RH.
If baking is required, refer to IPC/JEDEC J–STD–033 for bake procedure.

1. The embossment hole location shall be measured from the sprocket hole controlling the location of the embossment. Dimensions of embossment
location and hole location shall be applied independent of each other.
2. The tape, with or without components, shall pass around R without damage (see Figure 4).
3. If S1 < 1.0 mm, there may not be enough area for cover tape to be properly applied (see EIA Standard 481–D, paragraph 4.3, section b).
4. B1 dimension is a reference dimension for tape feeder clearance only.
5. The cavity defined by A0, B0 and K0 shall surround the component with sufficient clearance that:
(a) the component does not protrude above the top surface of the carrier tape.
(b) the component can be removed from the cavity in a vertical direction without mechanical restriction, after the top cover tape has been removed.
(c) rotation of the component is limited to 20° maximum for 8 and 12 mm tapes (see Figure 2).
(d) lateral movement of the component is restricted to 0.5 mm maximum for 8 mm and 12 mm wide tape (see Figure 3).
(e) see Addendum in EIA Standard 481–D for standards relating to more precise taping requirements.
