Panasonic SP-Cap Polymer Organic Aluminum Capacitors are surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitors that use a conductive polymer as the electrolyte in layered aluminum construction. The SP-Cap product line consists of multiple series' that offer capacitance ranges of up to 560µF, voltage range from 2VDC to 35VDC, and the lowest ESR/impedance in the industry, achieving very good noise suppression and transient response. Unlike MLCCs, SP-Caps 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 its safety features. Panasonic SP-Caps are the perfect solution for input and output capacitors for various DC/DC converters.
Polymer & Film MLCC Alternatives
Panasonic Polymer & Film MLCC Alternatives provide the opportunity to replace several MLCCs with one Polymer capacitor. These Panasonic polymer-based capacitors offer a performance edge over conventional electrolytic and ceramic capacitors when it comes to electrical characteristics, stability, longevity, reliability, safety, and life-cycle cost. The various polymer and hybrid capacitors have distinct sweet spots in terms of their ideal voltages, frequency characteristics, environmental conditions and other application requirements. Polymer capacitors come in four main varieties: layered polymer aluminum, wound polymer aluminum, polymer tantalum, and polymer hybrid. Each type has different electrolytic and electrode materials, packaging, and application targets.
EEF-CX Specialty Polymer Aluminum Capacitors
Panasonic Electronic Components EEF-CX Specialty Polymer Aluminum Capacitors (SP-Caps) are also conductive polymer aluminum capacitors that offer low ESR and excellent noise-absorbing characteristics. Other features of EEF-CX SP-Caps from Panasonic Electronic Components include capacitance range from 100µF to 560µF, voltage range from 2VDC to 6.3VDC, operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C, and RoHS compliance.
