KEMET offers a large range of supercapacitors in surface-mount and radial construction with high performance capabilities. Supercapacitors have characteristics that are common to both batteries and traditional capacitors. As a result, a supercapacitor can be used as 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.
Supercapacitors Automotive Grade Series are intended for power back-up in automotive applications. Enhancements to the design and material upgrades have been introduced to deliver 1,000 hours at 85°C/85% RH rated voltage and to meet automotive grade requirements with operational temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
