KEMET ceramic chips are available marked or unmarked (preferred) in several packaging styles. These ordering details are included as suffixes to the KEMET 14 digit part number, and will be used during the order entry process by KEMET sales personnel and distributors. (Notice that ordering a KEMET part number without a suffix will result in shipment of unmarked chips loose packed in a bag - so be sure to use a suffix if other packaging is needed.)

To speed up the ordering process, we use "shortcut" suffixes for the most common ordering modes. The most popular shortcut ordering suffix is "TU", which indicates unmarked chips, in labelled 7" tape & reel packaging. Alternatively, ordering suffix "TM" indicates marked chips, in labelled 7" reels. However, remember that marked chips are less likely to be in stock, and will have a cost premium associated with marking. Details on marking appear in our catalog, available on the website. Note that all 0402 chips and all Y5V chips are not available marked.

Today, June 17, 2013, KEMET has announced the release of their new Screw Terminal Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors.

ALS60/61 Screw Terminal Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

These new capacitors are designed using the latest electrolyte and foil technology in order to meet the high voltage, high ripple current and long life demands of various applications. KEMET expects their latest series of capacitor to be “ideally suited for such applications as frequency converters, inverters, UPS systems, switch mode power supplies, traction and welding.”  Markets that will benefit from the ALS60/61 series are alternative energy, industrial lighting, medical, transportation, defense and aerospace.

Though lead times for this style of capacitor can be quite long, Standard Radio remains committed to solving such delivery issues. In fact, our 130,000 square feet of warehouse space houses one of the industry’s largest inventories of screw terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitors. These warehouse capabilities combined with our product knowledge allows us to offer parts from stock that will fit your application and eliminate any lead time you may face.

Today, May 29, 2013, KEMET has announced the Release of Three New Tantalum Chip Capacitor Series.

T488 Small Case Substrate Terminal MnO₂

T527 Facedown Polymer

T529 Small Case Substrate Terminal Polymer

These series offer the end-user high capacitance values (22uF to 220uF) in a small footprint (2.0mm x 1.2mm and 3.2mm x 1.6mm) and low profile (max package heights of as low as 1.0mm). KEMET expects these capacitors to be popular in applications that use densely populated circuits. Such applications include smart phones and digital cameras.

With billions of capacitors in stock, make Standard Radio your stop for KEMET Capacitors. Whether you require tantalum, ceramic, film, aluminum, electrolytic or paper dielectrics, the product specialists at Standard Radio are ready to assist you with your needs.
