Panasonic Electronic Components Polymer Capacitors

OS-CON Aluminum-Polymer Solid Capacitors produce low ESR, excellent noise reduction, and ripple current capabilities, by utilizing aluminum and a high conductivity polymer material. The OS-CON product line consists of several series that include products characterized by a long life span and minimal changes in ESR throughout the entire rated temperature range. The OS-CON family of products offers very low ESR (down to 5mΩ), a capacitance range up to 2700µF, and a voltage range from 2V_DC to 50V_DC.

POSCAP Tantalum-Polymer Solid Capacitors achieve stable capacitance at high frequency and temperature, in addition to low ESR/ESL. Available in several series that include solid electrolyte chip capacitors (TPB, TPC, TPE, TPF, TPG, TPSF,  TPU, and TQC), the POSCAP tantalum polymer capacitor product line utilizes a sintered tantalum anode and a proprietary high conductivity polymer for a cathode. This unique design and processing yield extremely low ESR levels and exhibit excellent performance in high-frequency applications. POSCAP capacitors also offer high reliability and high heat resistance, high volumetric efficiency for capacitance. This series is available in various compact sizes for a small PCB footprint and is ideal for digital, high-frequency devices, and more.

SP-Cap Polymer Aluminum Organic Capacitors use a conductive polymer as the electrolyte in a layered aluminum construction. These surface-mount lineup features multiple series with a capacitance range up to 560µF, voltage range from 2V to 16V, and extremely low ESR/impedance. This produces good noise suppression and transient response. SP-Caps surpass MLCCs in that they are free from temperature drift and DC/AC bias characteristics. In addition, voltage deration is not needed in SP-Caps, as in tantalum capacitors, due to their safety features. SP-Caps are an ideal solution for input and output capacitors for various DC/DC converters.

Hybrid Polymer Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors combine the benefits of both electrolytic and polymer capacitor technologies to produce a capacitor with low ESR, low leakage current, high ripple current, and smaller case sizes.
