Kemet Announces Joint Development and Approval for New DSCC Drawings
GREENVILLE, S.C., Aug. 31 / KEMET Corporation (NYSE:KEM) today announced the launch of its new DSCC- (Defense Supply Center, Columbus) approved versions of its popular Conductive Polymer and Fused Tantalum Capacitor Series. These DSCC drawings were a joint effort between the Defense Supply Center, Columbus, and KEMET Corporation to meet the new demands for defense and aerospace products.
Three new DSCC source control drawings were recently released for KEMET's T525 (High-Temperature Conductive Polymer), T530 (High-Capacitance/Ultra-Low ESR Conductive Polymer) and T496 (Fused Tantalum) Series.
The DSCC drawing versions of these series incorporate many stringent design and test protocols (including 100% surge current testing and accelerated voltage aging) to ensure high quality and reliability. They are available in a variety of standard EIA case sizes (T, B, C, D, Y, and X depending on series) and all come with standard Sn/Pb (3% Pb minimum) terminations.
The Conductive Polymer versions (T525 and T530 series) combine low ESR and high capacitance making these series ideal for microprocessor decoupling, switch mode power supplies, and regulator circuits. The T496 Fused Tantalum series provides a true fail-open feature with protection from damaging short circuit conditions that is critical in applications where high fault currents exist.
