Würth Elektronik presents a new EDLC supercapacitor with snap-in terminals. They can be used in smart metering devices, network components or energy harvesting applications, etc. Its rated current can reach 75A. WCAP-SISC capacitance values of 100F and 350F are ideal solutions for high power and high energy demand applications such as UPS or energy storage solutions.
Devices with activated carbon technology have many advantages compared to lithium-ion batteries, including fast charging, a long service life of 500,000 cycles, and a lower risk of fire. And compared to conventional capacitors, the higher energy density makes double-layer capacitors such as WCAP-SISC an environmentally friendly alternative to batteries. And the capacitance tolerance is 10/+30%, and the rated voltage is 2.7V. Can be used at operating temperature from -40°C to +65°C.
