KYOCERA AVX, a global manufacturer of advanced electronic components, launched the new series-connected SCM series double-layer electrochemical supercapacitor modules.
The new SCM series series-connected supercapacitor modules can be used alone or in conjunction with primary or secondary batteries to extend battery life and backup time or provide instantaneous power pulses in holding, energy harvesting applications and pulse power in industry, energy, telecommunications, automotive, transportation and medical industries.
The series exhibits very high capacitance, very low ESR, high efficiency, high power density and excellent pulse power handling characteristics. It also supports active cell balancing and robustly withstands high currents, high vibrations, and frequent charge and discharge cycles.
SCM series supercapacitor modules are rated for operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +65°C and lifetimes extending to millions of cycles. They are also lead-free, RoHS compliant, and UL 810A compliant for electrochemical capacitors.
Ideal applications for the series include heavy industrial equipment, uninterruptible power supplies, utility networks and microgrids energy storage and curtailment, energy harvesting, regenerative energy capture, variable speed control, GSM and GPRS wireless communications, automotive and transportation vehicles spanning EVs and HEVs to trucks, buses, trains and elevators, and portable medical devices.
