Snap-in Ultracapacitors Provide Backup for Industrial Applications

Report this content

High energy density and durable connectivity meet the needs of automotive board net stabilisation, UPS/back up power, wind turbine pitch controls, handheld portable devices, emergency lighting, start/stop, power correction, sea buoys, and robotics and defence systems

Richmond, North Yorkshire, UK, 2 July 2012 - Easby Electronics is introducing the ESHSR series 360F 2.7V ultracapacitor, following its recently-announced distribution agreement with ultracapacitor leaders Nesscap.

As with other devices in the Nesscap portfolio, this mid-range electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) offers extremely high energy density compared to traditional capacitors, typically three orders of magnitude higher than is possible with traditional electrolytic capacitors. Nesscap’s EDLC technology, enables the ultracapacitor to store and release energy much faster than batteries, which rely on slower chemical reactions.

Featuring four snap-in terminals, these cells offer more durable connectivity and functionality to meet the requirements of industrial applications. These compact and lightweight EDLCs are designed for use in applications such as automotive board net stabilisation, UPS/back up power, wind turbine pitch controls, handheld portable devices, emergency lighting, start/stop, power correction, sea buoys, robotics and military systems.

Just 35.7mm in diameter and 63.5mm long, the new cell weighs a mere 67g and guarantees operation over a minimum of 500,000 cycles, having a typical operational lifetime of 10years. Internal resistance is lower than 3.2mOhm for 100Hz AC and DC voltages.

With an operating temperature range of -40 to + 65°C, the cell is ideal for applications where extreme temperature capability is important.
