Memory backup supercapacitors.

The SEC range of 'supercapacitors', available from Rhopoint Components, is an attractive energy storage option which helps to bridge the gap between conventional capacitors and batteries.

Available in values between 470,000uF and 1,000,000uF these devices can replace secondary batteries in electronic systems.

The charge / discharge circuit for these is very simple and being capacitors they can store or release energy very quickly ,which makes them ideal in for use in energy recovery systems.

Other than the fast charge / discharge time these devices offer several other benefits over secondary batteries: they will operate without significant degradation of performance over the temperature range of -25°C to 70°C, they can be charged and discharged for more than 100,000 cycles and are environmentally friendly containing no heavy metals or other hazardous substances.

Typical applications include: memory backup for hand held electronics systems, industrial control systems and commercial electronics.

Custom capacitor assemblies are also available for applications such as electric vehicle energy recovery systems.
