www.us-tech.com KEMET Introduces Reliability Test Method
Landsberg am Lech, Germany — KEMET, an international supplier of components, has introduced its KO- CAP® Reliability Assessment Method for polymer electrolytic capacitors. The test method has been devel-
oped over ten years of research and uses accelerated voltage and temper- ature conditions applied to board- mounted samples to assess device re- liability. The failure rates available are B (0.1 percent per 1,000 hours), C (0.01 percent per 1,000 hours), and D (0.001 percent per 1,000 hours). The test complements the T540
and T541 COTS series KO-CAPs. The capacitors are designed for de- coupling and filtering applications that require very low equivalent se- ries resistance (ESR).
New reliability test for polymer electrolytic capacitors.
By using an organic conductive
polymer as the cathode plate of the capacitor, they keep a low ESR, high ripple current capability and im-
proved capacitance retention at high frequency. Such performance characteris-
tics are suitable for various high-reli- ability defense applications including radar, sonar, power supplies and guidance systems. The company’s ca- pacitors with the new Reliability As- sessment Method are available with rated voltages from 2.5 to 63VDC, ca- pacitances up to 1,500µF, and ESR as low as 5mW — all in surface mount packaging.

Stockwell Elastomerics: EMI Gasket Materials Brochure
Available Now Philadelphia, PA — Stockwell Elas- tomerics has released an EMI Gasket Materials Touch Brochure which high- lights nickel-plated graphite-filled elastomer products. This touch bro - chure includes tactile buttons of three different electrically conductive elas- tomers and has been created to assist engineers tasked with specifying EMI or environmental sealing gaskets. Nickel-plated graphite-filled sil-
icone and fluorosilicone elastomers provide shielding performance at a moderate cost. The available hard- nesses range from 30 to 65 durome- ter. Nickel-plated graphite materials are especially attractive to commer- cial and defense projects where low cost and high performance are re- quired. Common applications include portable communications, power sup- plies and displays that require IP64, IP65, IP66, and IP67 sealing with added EMI attenuation. The company’s compounds have
been tested by a third party for shield- ing effectiveness per MIL-G-83528 standards. Due to their attenuation properties, these compounds are often selected for defense and commercial applications where silver-plated alu- minum compounds are too costly. Contact: Stockwell Elastomer-

Is 2016 the Year of IoT?
Continued from page 21 Challenges in this sector in-
clude the use of power and of course security. The USA uses over 2 per- cent of the country’s energy on data centers and this will certainly rise. Smarter solutions for power usage at these huge data centers will be need- ed to ensure data flows quickly, effi- ciently and without limits. As for se- curity, we all know the risks and we all know that those who want to dis- rupt and damage our data usage are as smart as those protecting it. The industry will have to work very hard to ensure that data cannot be sabo- taged or stolen. Rest assured IoT or big data is
going to intrude itself into every part of our lives. We have smart phones, but expect smart homes, smart cars, smart cities, smart machines, smart lines, smart factories and smart sup- ply chains to all be part of our future and they’re all lubricated and fueled by that most precious of 21st Centu- ry resources: data. r
