Polymer Capacitors
Also called Organic Conductive Polymer Capacitors
Polymer Capacitor
These Capacitors have been around since the late 1990s and are an improvement over the liquid-electrolyte-based standard capacitors.
Aluminum organic polymer capacitors improvements over liquid-electrolyte-based aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
Better equivalent series resistance (ESR)
Improved ripple current rating
Polymer capacitors have up to six times higher ripple current rating than similar aluminum capacitors.
Improved capacitance for size
Organic polymer capacitors are up to five times smaller, or can contain up to five times the capacitance in the same volume.
Improved stability over temperature
Traditional electrolytics lose capacitance in low temperature, resulting in increased ripple voltage.
