Supercapacitors - Automotive Grade
FU0H Series, 5.5 V, 85°C
Overview
Applications
FU0H Series Supercapacitors, also known as Electric
Double-Layer Capacitors (EDLCs), are intended for power
back up in the automotive applications.
Supercapacitors have characteristics ranging from
traditional capacitors and batteries. As a result,
supercapacitors can be used like a secondary battery
when applied in a DC circuit. These devices are best suited
for use in low voltage DC hold-up applications such as
embedded microprocessor systems with flash memory.
Enhancements to the design and selected material
upgrades were introduced to deliver 1,000 hours at
85°C/85% RH rated voltage and up to 4,000 hours at 85°C
operational life.
These capacitors are manufactured in an ISO TS 16949
certified plant and are subjected to PPAP/PSW, as well as
change control.
FU0H series Automotive grade Supercapacitor can be
stable under harsh envermental conditions such as high
humidity and high temperture.

Performance Characteristics
Supercapacitors should not be used for applications such as ripple absorption because of their high internal resistance
(several hundred mΩ to a hundred Ω) compared to aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Thus, its main use would be
similar to that of secondary battery such as power back-up in DC circuit. The following list shows the characteristics of
supercapacitors as compared to aluminum electrolytic capacitors for power back-up and secondary batteries.

Gas emission (*2)
(*1) Aluminum electrolytic capacitors and supercapacitors have limited lifetime. However, when used under proper conditions, both can operate within a
predetermined lifetime.
(*2) There is no harm as it is a mere leak of water vapor which transitioned from water contained in the electrolyte (diluted sulfuric acid). However,
application of abnormal voltage surge exceeding maximum operating voltage may result in leakage and explosion.

Capacitance (Discharge System)
As shown in the diagram below, charging is performed for a duration of 30 minutes*1 once the voltage of the capacitor
terminal reaches 5.5 V. Then, use a constant current load device and measure the time for the terminal voltage to drop from
3.0 to 2.5 V upon discharge at 1mA per 1F*2, for example, and calculate the static capacitance according to the equation
shown below.
Note:
: Products with 1.0F or more capacitance should be charged for 60 minutes.
: The current value is 1mA discharged per 1F

Dismantling
There is a small amount of electrolyte stored within the capacitor. Do not attempt to dismantle as direct skin contact with
the electrolyte will cause burning. This product should be treated as industrial waste and not is not to be disposed of by fire.

Notes on Using Supercapacitors or Electric Double-Layer Capacitors (EDLCs)
1. Circuitry Design
1.1 Useful life
Supercapacitor (EDLC) uses an electrolyte in a sealed container. Water in the electrolyte can evaporate while in use over
long periods of time at high temperatures, thus reducing electrostatic capacity which in turn will create greater internal
resistance. The characteristics of the supercapacitor can vary greatly depending on the environment in which it is used.
Basic breakdown mode is an open mode due to increased internal resistance.
1.2 Fail rate in the field
Based on field data, the fail rate is calculated at approximately 0.006 Fit. We estimate that unreported failures are ten
times this amount. Therefore, we assume that the fail rate is below 0.06 Fit.
1.3 Exceeding maximum usable voltage
Performance may be compromised and in some cases leakage or damage may occur if applied voltage exceeds
maximum working voltage.
1.4 Use of capacitor as a smoothing capacitor (ripple absorption)
As supercapacitors contain a high level of internal resistance, they are not recommended for use as smoothing
capacitors in electrical circuits. Performance may be compromised and, in some cases, leakage or damage may occur if
a supercapacitor is used in ripple absorption.
1.5 Series connections
As applied voltage balance to each supercapacitor is lost when used in series connection, excess voltage may be
applied to some supercapacitors, which will not only negatively affect its performance but may also cause leakage
and/or damage. Allow ample margin for maximum voltage or attach a circuit for applying equal voltage to each
supercapacitor (partial pressure resistor/voltage divider) when using supercapacitors in series connection. Also,
arrange supercapacitors so that the temperature between each capacitor will not vary.
1.6 Case Polarity
The supercapacitor is manufactured so that the terminal on the outer case is negative (-). Align the (-) symbol during
use. Even though discharging has been carried out prior to shipping, any residual electrical charge may negatively affect
other parts.
1.7 Use next to heat emitters
Useful life of the supercapacitor will be significantly affected if used near heat emitting items (coils, power transistors
and posistors, etc.) where the supercapacitor itself may become heated.
1.8 Usage environment
This device cannot be used in any acidic, alkaline or similar type of environment.

2. Mounting
2.1 Mounting onto a reflow furnace
Except for the FC series, it is not possible to mount this capacitor onto an IR / VPS reflow furnace. Do not immerse the
capacitor into a soldering dip tank.
2.2 Flow soldering conditions
Keep solder under 260°C and soldering time to within 10 seconds when using the flow automatic soldering method.
(Except for the FC and HV series)
2.3 Installation using a soldering iron
Care must be taken to prevent the soldering iron from touching other parts when soldering. Keep the tip of the soldering
iron under 400°C and soldering time to within 3 seconds. Always make sure that the temperature of the tip is controlled.
Internal capacitor resistance is likely to increase if the terminals are overheated.
2.4 Lead terminal processing
Do not attempt to bend or polish the capacitor terminals with sand paper, etc. Soldering may not be possible if the
metallic plating is removed from the top of the terminals.
2.5 Cleaning, Coating, and Potting
Except for the FM series, cleaning, coating and potting must not be carried out. Consult KEMET if this type of procedure
is necessary. Terminals should be dried at less than the maximum operating temperature after cleaning.
AEC-Q200 compliance FMD type is applicable to MIL-STD-202 option 4.
3. Storage
3.1 Temperature and humidity
Make sure that the supercapacitor is stored according to the following conditions: Temperature: 5 – 35°C (Standard
25°C), Humidity: 20 – 70% (Standard: 50%). Do not allow the build up of condensation through sudden temperature
change.
3.2 Environment conditions
Make sure there are no corrosive gasses such as sulfur dioxide, as penetration of the lead terminals is possible. Always
store this item in an area with low dust and dirt levels. Make sure that the packaging will not be deformed through heavy
loading, movement and/or knocks. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from radiation, static electricity and magnetic
fields.
3.3 Maximum storage period
This item may be stored up to one year from the date of delivery if stored at the conditions stated above.
