Certification

KEMET’s Internal Qualification Plan for this Tantalum series of capacitors follows AEC–Q200 guidelines. Standard catalog

part types ordered without a specific automotive designator, i.e., suffix AUTO or four digit customer specific designator

(C-Spec), are not considered KEMET Automotive Grade tantalum capacitors.
