Double Layer Capacitors

FEATURES

• Polarized capacitor with high charge density,

alternative product to rechargeable backup

batteries

• Dielectric: electric double layer

• Radial leads, cylindrical case, insulated with a blue vinyl

sleeve

• Available in both vertical and low-profile versions

• Unlimited charge and discharge cycle numbers

• No charge-discharge control circuitry and no series

resistor necessary

• Maintenance-free, no periodic replacement or service

necessary

• Ecologically beneficial (no Cd, no Li)

• Lead (Pb)-free versions are RoHS compliant

APPLICATIONS

• Energy storage, for backup of semiconductor memories

(CMOS) in all fields of electronics

• Telecommunication, audio-video, EDP

• General industrial, clock and timer systems

MARKING

The capacitors are marked with the following information:

• Rated capacitance (in F)

• Rated voltage (in V)

• Date code, in accordance with IEC 60062

• Name of manufacturer

• Negative terminal identification

• Upper category temperature (at 85 °C types only)
