TPLE ultracapacitor cells power hand-held devices

Tecate has added new products to the Powerburst range of cylindrical, radial leaded ultracapacitor cells to provide pulse and hold-up power in hand-held and portable devices using microprocessors.

The TPLE series of Powerburst ultracapacitors is 100-per-cent RoHS compliant and offers an extended operating temperature up to 85C.

Capacitance values range from 5 to 100F.

Used to supplement - and in some cases replace - batteries, these electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) offer low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) for high power and low loss during operation.

The lightweight, small-form-factor parts are maintenance-free, have an extended 85C operating temperature range and offer a high charge/discharge cycle life, along with high useable capacity.

These low-leakage current ultracapacitors charge quickly and safely, and deliver frequent energy pulses without harmful effects or reduced life.

The TPLE Series of general-purpose ultracapacitors may be specified for energy storage in a range of space-constrained applications.

They can be used in storage, battery packs, wireless communications, mobile computing and industrial applications.

Applications include RAID storage, smart grid, portable data terminals, personal digital assistants, pagers, peak power shaving and remote monitoring equipment.

Tecate's Powerburst ultracapacitors can be used in conjunction with batteries, or other power sources, when batteries alone do not meet performance objectives.

Cells are also utilised to hold or bridge power when the primary power source fails, or when a battery is swapped out.

They feature an operating temperature range of -40 to 85C, making them a logical alternative to batteries in extended temperature applications.

The TPLE Series is provided in seven specific capacitance values ranging from 5 to 100F and in sizes of 10 (d) x 20mm (l) to 18 (d) x 45mm (l).

Powerburst ultracapacitors feature a capacitance tolerance of -0 to 40 per cent.
