While piezoelectric haptic solutions are found in many applications, they are often large and heavy, thus shaking the entire device. KEMET’s thin (150 µm), flexible and conformable haptic actuators are made from a proprietary, patent-protected paper-thin material, an electro-active polymer ﬁlm, that enables piezoelectric effects to mimic the sense of touch.

A fuse is an electrical or electronic circuit protection device that protects a circuit against overcurrent, either by melting or fusing open its conductive element when excessive current flows through it. Some fuses are single-use or “one-shot” designs; others are reusable designs. This is an important distinction in the marketplace among design engineers.

Organic Capacitor (KO-CAP) is a solid electrolytic capacitor with a conductive polymer cathode capable of delivering ultra low ESR and improved capacitance retention at high frequencies. KO-CAP combines the low ESR of multilayer ceramic, the high capacitance of aluminum electrolytic, and the volumetric efficiency of tantalum into a single surface mount package.

The tantalum polymer SMD are solid-state capacitors that demonstrate no wear out mechanism when operated within their recommended guidelines. Unlike their MnO2 counterparts, polymer capacitors don’t need to be derated as aggressively. Under most conditions of consumer electronics devices, polymer capacitors only need about 10% derating.
