Tantalum Through-Hole Capacitors – Hermetically Sealed
M55 Module Polymer Hermetic Seal
Overview
KEMET's M550 and M551 Modular Series are manufactured
by placing T550 or T551 Polymer Hermetic Sealed Capacitors
(PHS) in parallel. The T550 and T551 Series are manufactured
utilizing KEMET’s exclusive F-Tech process and are 100%
tested per KEMET’s patented Simulated Breakdown Screening
process. This configuration provides high and stable capacitance
(up to 8,200 µF), extremely low ESR (down to 15 mΩ) and
extremely low and stable leakage current, all in a mechanically
robust package.
The M55 Modules are available in two temperature offerings:
105°C (M550 Series) and 125°C (M551 Series). With reduced
ESR and enhanced capacitance retention at higher frequencies
and low temperatures, KEMET modules provide the highest total
capacitance and the lowest total cost of ownership for high power
applications.
Benefits
• Extremely low and stable ESR (as low as 15 mΩ)
• High frequency capacitance retention
• Low temperature capacitance stability
• High ripple current capability (17,500 mArms)
• High in rush current capability
• Excellent power dissipation capability
• Stackable packaging
• Mechanically robust assembly and epoxy housing
• Operates at up to 80% rated voltage
• Customized solutions available
• RoHS compliant terminations available

Ripple Current/Ripple Voltage
Permissible AC ripple voltage and current are related to equivalent series resistance (ESR) and the power dissipation capabilities of the
device. Permissible AC ripple voltage that may be applied is limited by two criteria:
1. The positive peak AC voltage plus the DC bias voltage, if any, must not exceed the DC voltage rating of the capacitor.
2. The negative peak AC voltage in combination with bias voltage, if any, must not exceed the allowable limits specified for reverse
voltage.
The maximum power dissipation by case size can be determined using the below left table. The maximum power dissipation
rating stated in the table must be reduced with increasing environmental operating temperatures. Refer to the below right table for
temperature compensation requirements.

Using the Pmax of the device, the maximum allowable rms ripple
current or voltage may be determined.
I(max) = √Pmax /R
E(max) = Z √Pmax /R
I = rms ripple current (amperes)
E = rms ripple voltage (volts)
Pmax = maximum power dissipation (watts)
R = ESR at specified frequency (ohms)
Z = Impedance at specified frequency (ohms)
The maximum power dissipation rating must be reduced with increasing
environmental operating temperatures. Refer to the Temperature Compensation
Multiplier table for details.

Reverse Voltage
Solid tantalum polymer capacitors are polar devices and may be
permanently damaged or destroyed if connected with the wrong
polarity. A small reverse voltage is permissible for time periods
per the table at right. KEMET can offer lower capacitance in this
voltage with higher reverse voltage capability. In addition, we
continue to improve our capability for this characteristic.

Mounting
The M550 and M551 Modular Series are suitable for stacking to the board. The use of a heat sink is recommended. These products are
not suitable for reflow soldering. For manual-soldering process with soldering iron, the maximum recommended temperature is 350°C
for no more than 3 seconds. Care should be taken to avoid contact of the soldering iron to the epoxy housing. The iron should be used
to heat the solder pad, applying solder between the pad and the terminal of the module, until reflow occurs.
