Long operation life :
Realization of long operation life without requiring replacement provided by the 2000- hour guarantee
Electric double-layer capacitors used in the backup power supply of industrial equipment are required to operate for a long period of time and to be maintenance-free. In a backup power supply for automotive emergency brakes, door lock release system, etc., a compact and light weight design is required in addition to long operation life. The company’s proprietary development of an electrolyte allowed it to reduce the deterioration of characteristics such as capacitance and internal resistance; consequently, the company was able to achieve the 2000-hour guarantee as radial lead type electrical double layer capacitor. This enables the designer of a power supply circuit to use fewer capacitors at the time of the initial design.
- The time until the capacitance reduces by 60 % by being applied 2.5 V.DC at 50 deg C continuously
- *1 AN type: EDLC using acetonitrile-based electrolyte. Though this type of EDLC shows excellent electrical characteristics, there are concerns about safety since toxic gas is generated during incomplete combustion due to its low flash point.
High current output（Low resistance） :
Realization of the high current output by reducing the internal resistance
The industrial equipment such as servers and storage equipment need to discharge large current instantaneously. The conventional type of capacitors had difficulty in the discharge of large current due to high internal resistance since the conductivity of electrolyte is high. With the development of the unique electrolyte with improved conductivity, internal resistance has been reduced and flowing current has been increased even by using non-acetonitrile-based (AN) electrolyte to the level comparable to or more than those using acetonitrile-based (AN) electrolyte for supplying rapid charging and discharging required by industrial and automotive applications.
- *The current value that discharge is available after 10 years by being applied 2.5 V.DC at 50 deg C continuously.
Wide temperature range :
Realization of the low temperature guarantee down to -40 deg. C for the use under severe environment as well as automotive application
Use of the industrial equipment under stricter temperature environment has increased. Smart meters, in particular, are expected to operate outdoor in cold-weather environments, and the capacitors used in a backup power supply are required to operate in the same low temperature. In general, the low temperature guarantee of the company’s conventional radial lead type electrical double layer capacitors was limited to -25 degree C since the conductivity of capacitors reduces and the internal resistance increases under low temperature environment.
However, this product achieved a guaranteed operating temperature of -40 degree C through the development of this new electrolyte, and it can satisfy the ANSI standards of the United States. Therefore, this product is suitable for equipment installed outdoors such as smart meters as well as automotive applications in cold weather.
