SCM Series
Series-Connected Super Capacitor Modules
This new series of electrochemical, double-layer, series-connected SuperCapacitor modules
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, pulse power applications,
and battery replacement.

QUALITY INSPECTION
TERMINATION
Parts are tested for life cycle, high temperature load life, temperature
characteristics, vibration resistance, and humidity characteristics.
See pages 2-5 for more information.
These SuperCapacitors are compatible with hand soldering and wave
soldering processes, so long as appropriate precautions are followed. See
12 for more information.
LEAD-FREE COMPATIBLE
COMPONENT
For RoHS compliant products, please
select correct termination style.

TEST METHODS
IEC CAPACITANCE TEST METHOD
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.

SOLDERING RECOMMENDATIONS
SAFETY 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.
HAND SOLDERING
Keep some distance between the SuperCapacitor body and the tip of the
soldering iron; contact between SuperCapacitor body and soldering iron
will cause extensive damage to the SuperCapacitor. It is recommended
that the soldering iron temperature should be less than 350°C, and contact
time should be limited to no more 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 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.
WARNINGS
• To avoid short circuit, after usage or test, SuperCapacitor voltage needs
to discharge to ≤ 0.1V
• Do not apply over-voltage, reverse charge, burn or heat higher than
150°C, explosion-proof valve may break open
• Do not press, damage or disassemble the SuperCapacitor, housing
could heat to high temperature causing burns
• If you observe overheating or burning smell from the capacitor
disconnect power immediately, and do not touch
EMERGENCY APPLICATIONS
If housing is leaking:
• Skin contact: use soap and water thoroughly to wash the area of the skin
• Eye contact: flush with flowing water or saline, and immediately seek
medical treatment
• Ingestion: immediately wash with water and seek medical treatment
TRANSPORTATION
