Ultra-thin supercapacitors by CAP-XX (TME008E)

CAP-XX brand solutions meet the needs of modern and innovative applications where supercapacitors are used. A range of exceptional components from this supplier has just arrived in TME warehouses and catalog.

In recent years, supercapacitors have found many new applications – not only in electric vehicles but also in compact electronic devices. These components enable high current performance in power supply and energy aggregation circuits, such as remote IoT modules using wind turbines and other renewable energy sources.

Solutions from the brand CAP-XX, an Australian manufacturer specializing in supercapacitors, are designed with such circuits in mind. This supplier’s assortment is a new addition to the TME catalog and warehouses – hence, we present a cross-section of this offering below. It will certainly interest all manufacturers and designers looking for compact components with broad specifications.

 

 

 

Unconventional Supercapacitors

CAP-XX supercapacitors feature a prismatic design, where the layers of the insulator and conductor are formed into a rectangular block (instead of the typical cylindrical shape). This construction allows for the production of capacitors with high capacitance (here: from 75mF to 900mF) while maintaining a very low profile (e.g., 2.1mm). This makes them suitable for mobile and miniature devices, such as power stabilization and backup, energy aggregation, and fast-charging systems.

These components operate at voltages up to 5.8V DC (depending on the model), supporting pulse currents up to 30A. They are noteworthy for their wide thermal tolerance (from -40°C to 85°C) and long lifespan. The leakage current does not exceed 1µA, while the minimum charging current can be as low as 20µA.
