From early-stage design consultation to long-term supply agreements, KEMET provides end-to-end support for passive component integration.
Our application engineers collaborate with your design team to select the optimal capacitor technology, package size, and voltage rating for your specific circuit requirements. We provide SPICE simulation models, impedance curves, and thermal derating data to accelerate your design cycle.
KEMET operates accredited reliability labs capable of performing accelerated life testing per MIL-STD-202 and AEC-Q200 standards. Our failure analysis team uses cross-sectioning, SEM imaging, and electrical characterization to identify root causes within 5 business days.
For applications where standard catalog parts fall short, KEMET offers custom component design. Our ceramic and tantalum process lines support non-standard capacitance values, custom terminations, and application-specific packaging. Typical lead times range from 6 to 12 weeks for prototype quantities.
KEMET supports lean manufacturing with consignment inventory, vendor-managed inventory (VMI), and Kanban replenishment programs. Our demand planning team monitors your consumption rates and adjusts safety stock levels to prevent line-down situations.
Our engineering team is ready to help you select and qualify the right passive components for your next project.
