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congurationprovideshighandstablecapacitance
(upto8,200µF),extremelylowESR(downto15)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.

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specied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

I = rms ripple current (amperes)
E = rms ripple voltage (volts)
Pmax = maximum power dissipation (watts)
R = ESR at specied frequency (ohms)
Z = Impedance at specied frequency (ohms)
The maximum power dissipation rating must be reduced with increasing
environmental operating temperatures. Refer to the Temperature Compensation

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 below table. 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 Modules Series M550 and M551 are suitable for stacking to the board. The use of a heat sink is recommended.
ModulesSeriesarenotsuitableforreowsoldering.Formanual-solderingprocesswithsolderingiron,themaximumrecommended
temperature is 35C 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reowoccurs.

Storage
Polymer Hermetic Seal Modules should be stored in normal working environments. KEMET recommends that maximum storage
temperature not exceed 40°C and maximum storage humidity not exceed 90% RH. For optimal solderability, module stock should be
used promptly, preferably within three years of receipt.
