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,

SOLDERING RECOMMENDATIONS
When soldering SuperCapacitors to a PCB, the temperature & time that the
body of the SuperCapacitor sees during soldering can have a negative effect
on performance. We advise following these guidelines:
• Do not immerse the SuperCapacitors in solder. Only the leads should come
in contact with the solder.
• Ensure that the body of the SuperCapacitor is never in contact with the
molten solder, the PCB or other components during soldering.
• Excessive temperatures or excessive temperature cycling during soldering
may cause the safety vent to burst or the case to shrink or crack, potentially
damaging the PCB or other components, and significantly reduce the life
of the capacitor.
PRECAUTION: For all products with shrink wrap sleeves, washing in any type of cleaning
agent is prohibited. During all soldering processes, it’s recommended to protect the
shrink wrap from any kind of liquid (including but not limited to: water, strong acid, strong
alkali, strong oxidizing solutions, and strong solvents) to avoid the risk of damage,
cracking, and fading of the outer shrink wrap.

that the soldering iron temperature should be less than 350°C, and contact
time should be limited to less than 4 seconds. Too much exposure to
terminal heat during soldering can cause heat to transfer to the body of
the SuperCapacitor, potentially damaging the electrical properties of the
SuperCapacitor.
WAVE SOLDERING
Only use wave soldering on Radial type SuperCapacitors. The PCB should
be preheated only from the bottom and for less than 60 seconds, with
temperature at, or below, 100°C on the top side of the board for PCBs equal
to or greater than 0.8 mm thick.

HAND SOLDERING
Keep distance between the SuperCapacitor body and the tip of the soldering
iron and the tip should never touch the body of the capacitor. Contact between
SuperCapacitor body and soldering iron will cause extensive damage to the
SuperCapacitor, and change its electrical properties. It is recommended

Procedure:
Charge module under constant current to rated voltage at room temperature, then hold 10 minutes on charge under constant voltage. After
10 minutes, discharge under constant current (as shown in chart below), recording voltage at V1, V2, and time intervals at t1 and t2. Use the
capacitance formula to determine cap value.

TEST METHODS (continued)
MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS CURRENT
• This is the maximum current when temperature rise of the supercapacitor during its operation is less than 15°C
MAXIMUM PEAK CURRENT
• This is the maximum current during 1 second time interval (dt)
WATT DENSITY
• Watt Density = (0.12*V2 / RDC ) / mass
ENERGY DENSITY
• Energy Density = (½ CV2) / (3600*mass)
POLARITY AND 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 voltage and the operating temperature according to the following
Time to Failure equation:
( −Q )
t ∝ Vn × e kT
where V is the operating voltage, Q is the activation energy in electron volts (eV), k is the Boltzmann constant in eV, and T is the operating temperature in Kelvin
(K). Typical values for the voltage exponent, n, is between 2.5-3.5, and Q is between 1.0-1.2 eV in the normal operating temperature range of -40° to 65°C.
The industry standard for supercapacitor end of life is when the equivalent series resistance, ESR, increases to 200% of the specified value and the capacitance
drops by 30% from specified value. Typically a supercapacitor shows an initial “jump” in the ESR value and then levels off. If the supercapacitors are exposed
to excessive temperatures the ESR will show a continuous degradation (increase). In the extreme case, if the temperature or voltage are substantially higher
than the rated specifications, this could result in the part venting and the product showing a faster degradation of capacitance and ESR, which may be many
times the specified value.

STORAGE
Capacitors may be stored within the temperature range of -40°C to +70°C
with humidity < 60%. Lower storage temperature is preferred as it extends
the shelf life of the capacitor. Product over one year and within two years of
the date code, we recommend recharging the product at the beginning of
use for at least 24 hours.
