MUNICH, Nov. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- KEMET Corporation (NYSE: KEM), a leading global supplier of electronic components, introduced today its first automotive grade polymer capacitors at the Electronica 2014 trade fair in Munich, Germany. The T591 High Performance Automotive Grade Polymer Tantalum Series delivers stability and endurance under harsh humidity and temperature conditions.
"Polymer capacitors are very popular in today's high performance decoupling applications such as DC-to-DC converters," said Dr. Philip Lessner, KEMET Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. "The T591 Series was developed with enhancements in polymer materials, design and manufacturing processes to meet the increasing demands of the telecommunications, industrial, and now, automotive segments."

This series features operating temperatures up to 125 degrees Celsius and manufactured in an ISO TS 16949 certified plant.
