PANASONIC's Polymer Capacitors Series
Highly Reliable Polymer Capacitor Series for Harsh Environments
With the evolution of telecommunication equipment, capacitors with long lifetime and resistance to high humidity in addition to large capacitance are required in power supply designing. PANASONIC Industry enters a new era by extending the SP-Cap aluminum polymer capacitor line-up with temperature resistant KX series - 5,500 hours at 125°C - which is the industry´s longest endurance guarantee.

This guarantee refers to conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitors as of Feb. 28, 2022 (PANASONIC data).
The SP-Cap portfolio of aluminum polymer capacitors is the ideal choice wherever a low ESR would be the primary consideration for identifying the most suitable capacitor. Thanks to PANASONIC's advanced solid polymer technology, SP-Caps have proven to be an excellent alternative to multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) and pure tantalum capacitors. They require less parts and space on the PCB and provide much better performance, especially for modern and complex low-profile electronic devices, with large capacitance up to 820µF and a ripple current up to 10.2Arms.
PANASONIC Industry has expanded the successful technology further with the new KX series – a very high endurance and particularly heat tolerant series. Coming with the typically low ESR of 9mohm, a large capacitance, a low profile, long life span and high characteristic stability, this latest member of the SP-Cap family stands out with an endurance of 5,500 hours at 125°C and thus promises an outstanding reliability. Its remarkable damp heat specifications – 1,000 hours at 85°C, 85%RH – similar to JX series, render it suitable for demanding outdoor applications. Shahrokh Kananizadeh, Product Manager at PANASONIC Industry, is well aware that there are a lot of them: “The KX series has many benefits in a wide range of applications, such as noise reduction or voltage smoothing in base stations, networks, servers, accelerator cards and industrial equipment. Briefly said, the KX series sets new standards in terms of high temperature reliability – and underlines the superiority of polymer technology for new designs.”
With the combination of proprietary technologies of conductive polymer formation and manufacturing processes developed by PANASONIC, the newly developed products have achieved an over three times longer lifetime than that of conventional products, additionally a high temperature and humidity guarantee.
