KEMET Corporation (NYSE: KEM), a leading global supplier of electronic components, introduced its next-generation aluminum electrolyticA polarized capacitor exhibiting a very high capacitanceThat property of a system of conductors and dielectrics which permits the storage of electricity when potential difference exists between the conductors. Its value is expressed as the ratio of a quantity of electricity to a potential difference. A capacitance value is always positive./volume ratio that consists of two electrodes immersed in an electrolyte, with a chemical film that acts as a dielectricThe insulating material between the plates of the capacitor. The material is chosen for its ability to permit electrostatic attraction and repulsion to take place across it. The material will have the property that energy required to establish an electric field is recoverable in whole or in part, as electric energy. In other words, a good dielectric material is a poor conductor of electricity while being an effective supporter of electrostatic fields. on one or both electrodes. Electrolytic capacitors are made by winding either plain or etched foils on which an oxide has been formed on the surface of one (either anodeAn electrodeA solid electric conductor through which an electric current enters or leaves in a medium through which current enters any nonmetallic conductor. or cathodeThe negative electrodeA solid electric conductor through which an electric current enters or leaves in a medium of a capacitor.) film. The etching of the foil increases the surface area and a considerable increase in capacitanceThat property of a system of conductors and dielectrics which permits the storage of electricity when potential difference exists between the conductors. Its value is expressed as the ratio of a quantity of electricity to a potential difference. A capacitance value is always positive. can thus be obtained. capacitorsConsists of two conducting electrodes, with the anodeAn electrodeA solid electric conductor through which an electric current enters or leaves in a medium through which current enters any nonmetallic conductor. having an aluminum metal oxide film acting as the dielectricThe insulating material between the plates of the capacitor.

These capacitors are generally used in filtering, bypassing and couplingSituation where two circuits are connected together where only the AC voltage is passed.., featuring a new high performance axial series.
The PEG130 105 degrees C Axial Series offers features suited for LED lighting applications. LED lamp power supplies demand long component life while generating minimal heat. The PEG130 Series addresses both of these needs and are available with capacitances as high as 6,300 uFUnit of capacitance. The basic unit of a measure of a capacitor. A capacitor charged to 1 volt with a charge of 1 coulombA coulomb is the unit of electric charge. It is named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb.1 coulomb is the amount of electric charge transported by a current of 1 ampere in 1 second. It can also be defined in terms of capacitance and voltage, where one coulomb is defined as one farad of capacitance times one volt of electric potential difference. would have a capacitance of 1 farad. 1 microF = .000001 Farads. and voltage options of 25, 40 and 63 VDC.
"The low ESRLow Equivalent Series ResistanceLow Equivalent Series ResistanceLow Equivalent Series Resistance electrolyte and paper system developed for this series is important because ESRLow Equivalent Series Resistance contributes directly to heat and losses in a power supply design," stated Leif Elliasson, KEMET Product Manager. "Depending on operational conditions, the PEG130 achieves up to 160,000 hours of operational life."
