Kemet-ALN20

Overview - ALC10S Series

KEMET's ALC10S Series of capacitors features improvements in general construction of the capacitors to achieve better results in audio, where fidelity of the waveshape is very important. Great attention has been paid to the construction details that can affect performance such as foil type, its connections and mechanical construction. Details of capacitance and case sizes are available in KEMET's slit foil capacitor range.

KEMET has produced the ALC10S slit foil capacitors specifically for audio applications. Its patented design eliminates circulating currents in the aluminium foils. This spurious current flow on the capacitor plates is known to occur but not apparent in most applications.

Overview - ALC10S Series

KEMET's ALN20S series of capacitors is a new generation T-Network Capacitor (TNC). The TNC is manufactured by KEMET in Portugal. In a normal capacitor unwanted resistance and inductance force the input and output together electrically, making its unwanted characteristics very critical for performance

KEMET's ALN20S capacitors are a unique T-Network Capacitor (TNC) designed specifically for audio applications. The main advantage of the TNC lies in its ability to reduce the effects of unwanted resistance and inductance placing the signal closer to the pure capacitance of the component.

Overview - A927

KEMET's A927 is an electrolytic capacitor module withoutstanding electrical performance, high ripple current, and high energy storage capabilities. This device contains a bank of PEH227 Radial Crown Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors mounted on a copper bus bar. These assembled parts are housed by a plastic case. The A927's low ESR is the result of a low resistive electrolyte/paper system and an all-welded design. Optimal bus bar design enables a low ESL level. The A927 is suitable for use in automotive applications, thanks to its mechanical robustness. One example would be in 48V inverter applications for Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicles, especially because of its 150°C temperature rating. This modular device facilitates the integration on an application heat-sink. KEMET's automotive grade capacitors meet the demanding Automotive Electronics Council's AEC–Q200 qualification requirements.
