Tantalum polymer to MLCC Replacement Guidelines

Let’s all get to the same baseline. KO-CAP is KEMET’s tantalum-based polymer electrolytic capacitor. Like any other tantalum capacitor, it is a slug of sintered tantalum powder that has a tantalum pentoxide layer grown on it, with a layer of conductive polymer acting as the cathode. This conductive polymer gives the capacitor much lower ESR than “traditional” tantalum capacitors. That’s all I have to say about that.

High capacitance base metal electrode multilayered ceramic chip capacitors (MLCC) has been the focal point of electrostatic capacitor technology for more than 25 years. The stacking of advanced dielectric materials and nickel electrode powders in the finished MLCC creates a component with an extremely high capacitance that extends the product offering well into the higher priced electrolytic range.

Limited capacity expansion in the MLCC industry, specifically the ability to stack ceramic layers (limited capex in three-dimensional stacking capacity for barium titanate dielectric composition and nickel electrode paste) will extend shortages of MLCC to 2020 and beyond.

MLCC capacitor market is currently going through a tough supply time period. MLCC manufacturers are leaving their low margin, high volume, consumer segment and concentrating on supply of higher added value parts. This is resulting in a considerable MLCC shortage that may take several years to be resolved.

2020 May be a Messy Year for MLCCs Supply

Capacitor manufacturers have been adding capacity since 2017 and, while lead times for many parts could stretch, allocations for most parts, are not likely. However, it is unclear what the MLCC scenario will be and if buying conditions will turn from being a buyer’s market to a seller’s market. One thing is for sure. The MLCC market will be different in 2020 than it was in 2019.
