SCC LE Series

Low ESR Cylindrical SuperCapacitors

The new series of cylindrical electrochemical double-layer capacitors offers excellent pulse power
handling characteristics based on the combination of very high capacitance and very low ESR. Used by
themselves or in conjunction with primary or secondary batteries, they provide extended back up time,
longer battery life, and provide instantaneous power pulses as needed. Offers great solutions to Hold Up,
Energy Harvesting, and Pulse Power Applications.

FEATURE APPLICATIONS
• Cap Values from 1F - 850F • Power Holdup Modules
• High pulse power capability • Energy Harvesting
• Low ESR • UPS/Industrial
• Low Leakage Current • Robotic Power
• High Pulse Current Applications

Precautionary Warning!
If these 3-Prong Solder Pin parts are used in series-connected module assembly, these parts utilize the outer aluminum casing as the positive connection. Do
not use parts if the shrink wrap is split open or if the casing is exposed. Maintain proper part spacing in module designs, as part-to-part potential can create a
deadly situation (i.e. try to avoid having part one very close to part 20 or higher, and so on). It is recommended to have the tops of parts covered with insulation
material to avoid inadvertent shorting in module designs. If you have any questions please contact AVX.

POLARITY / REVERSE VOLTAGE
For product consistency and optimum performance, it is recommended that the capacitor be connected with polarity indicated. Reversing polarity could result
in permanent damage to the circuit including much higher leakage current for a short duration of time and the life time of the SuperCapacitors will be reduced.

LIFE TIME AND TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE

The life of a SuperCapacitor is impacted by a combination of operating The industry standard for SuperCapacitor end of life is when the equivalent
voltage and the operating temperature according to the following equation: series resistance, ESR, increases to 200% of the original value and the
capacitance drops by 30%. Typically a super-capacitance shows an initial
time to failure, t ∞ Vn * exp (-Q / k*T) …………..(1) where V is the voltage of
change in the ESR value and then levels off. If the capacitors are exposed to
operation, Q is the activation energy in electron volts (eV), k is the Boltzmann’s
excessive temperatures the ESR will show a continuous degradation. In the
constant in eV and T is the operating temperature in °K (where K is in degrees
extreme case, if the temperatures or voltages are substantially higher, than
Kelvin). Typical values for the voltage exponent, n, is between 2.5 - 3.5, and
the rated voltage, this will lead to cell leakage or gas leakage and the product
