Double-layer capacitors deliver high power in small volumes

Article By : Vishay

Vishay BCcomponents 220 EDLC Enycap series devices offer power density to 4.1Wh/kg and capacitance from 15°F to 40°F.

Vishay has introduced a new series of Enycap electrical double-layer energy storage capacitors for energy harvesting, power back-up, and UPS power source applications.

Available in power and energy versions with high stability, Vishay BCcomponents 220 EDLC Enycap series devices deliver high power density and capacitance values in small case sizes ranging from 16mm x 20mm to 18mm x 31mm.
