    if you mean the black ones with gold print - they are good.
    but only on the inputs to switching supplies - i dont know about the outputs.
    unless you have the part number/series so i can look them up.

      Kemet has low impedance electrolytics?

            I use kemet low impedence when I can't get nichicon or if the shape is more suitable. Haven't had any problems. I consider them pretty much on par with the top tier brands, but I'm not a pro.

              Kemet electrolytics and polymers are low-tier Chinese products and should be avoided.

              Their polymer caps are priced very competitively - but there's a reason for that. They are not on par with Japanese parts.

              If you want Chinese/Taiwanese polymers, save your money and buy Apaq from LCSC.

They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

                  Kemet's lytics, https://ec.kemet.com/aluminum/ , seem to be made in the EU, and the part numbers are reminiscent of Rifa's part numbering system for lytics. They don't have the low impedance low voltage parts I mistakenly had in mind.

                      i have used these - the life and ripple handling is impressive!

                            The real problem with these types of issues (changing the amps) is not only the fact that it tend to be a little bit tricky to solve but also that the solution is always quite expensive.

                              I'm not an expert whatsoever, but I think that Kemet's impedance electrolytics is not exactly small. Far from it.
