Conductive polymer capacitors

Conductive polymer capacitors are capacitors which use conductive polymer as electrolyte. A solid-state capacitor contains a positive and negative electrode, a dielectric medium and a solid electrolyte. The solid electrolyte contains an electro conductive polymer as an essential constituent. By using the solid electrolyte, electrolyte drying is avoided.

These capacitors are effective for flowing high ripple current and removing noise at high frequencies. In event of failure, the conductive polymer is insulated, providing a safe structure. Polymer capacitors have a number of superior qualities in comparison with ordinary electrolyte capacitors:

• Longer lifetime
• Higher maximum working temperature
• Higher stability
• Lower ESR
• Safer failure mode
