Ultra-thin miniature supercap cells

Increasing demands on power density, charge and dis­charge cycles, life span and main­te­nance effort are forcing electronics developers to further miniaturise the compo­nents. More and more indus­tries, such as transport & logistics or agri­culture (precision farming), use small hand­held devices with energy-inten­sive appli­cations such as wireless data trans­mission (RFID, WLAN, Bluetooth), LED flash, scan/print functions, GPS, etc. The solution are ultra-thin, prismatic mini-cells.

Supercapacitors provide both peak and reserve power

These devices must have both a long battery life and be able to absorb short-term peak loads. The extremely small, ultra-thin UTRACAP MINATURE CELLS from CAP-XX can meet these require­ments in a very small space. Thin as a coin and excellent ESR values, leakage currents and other key para­meters. Here, the facts prove it (see data sheets).

Function and advantages of ULTRACAP in mobile devices (handhelds)

• Support of pulse power
• Extension of battery life
• Data security during drop test (battery­contacts rattle)
• Data backup in case of battery­change
• Data security during controlled/uncon­trolled shutdown
• Low ESR
• Operation at low tempera­tures and battery­support
