Capacitors can now be specified for stringent defence and aerospace applications following the creation of new DSCC source control drawings.
Three Kemet product lines can now be specified for stringent defence and aerospace applications following the creation of new Defense Supply Center, Columbus (DSCC) source control drawings The drawings were developed in response to the growing need for components approved for use in critical applications that offer a benign failure mode

Lead-free termination becomes the norm
Kemet is switching to lead-free as the standard termination finish on tantalum MnO2 and organic polymer KO-CAP products.
The T525 and T530 series of conductive polymer capacitors combine low ESR and high capacitance making them ideal for microprocessor decoupling, switch mode power supplies and regulator circuits.
The T496 fused tantalum series, meanwhile, provides a true fail-open feature that provides protection from damaging short circuit conditions.
The benign failure mode of all three series makes them ideal for use in critical applications where it is important that device failure does not impact other circuitry.
Typical applications can be found in aviation instrumentation, guidance systems, weapons systems, displays and space exploration equipment.
The DSCC source drawings detail stringent design and test protocols plus additional testing options such as thermal shock and stability at both high and low temperatures.
