Prismatic Supercapacitors – Ultra Compact but Strong!
Supercaps, also known as supercapacitors, are a special type of energy storage device that combine certain properties of rechargeable batteries with those of capacitors. They can store enormous amounts of energy this way and release it again very quickly, which makes them particularly valuable for many applications.
Compared to rechargeable batteries of the same weight, supercapacitors only have around 10 % of the energy density. However, their power density is around ten to a hundred times greater. Supercapacitors can therefore be charged and discharged much faster. They also withstand many more charging cycles than rechargeable batteries and are therefore suitable as a replacement or supplement wherever high switching loads are required.
World's Thinnest Supercapacitors
SCHURTER introduces its new line of Prismatic Supercapacitors, setting a new standard in energy storage solutions. These supercapacitors combine high power density, extremely low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), and ultra-thin form factors, making them the ideal choice for demanding electronic applications.
The prismatic supercapacitors from SCHURTER are super-thin. With a thickness of just 0.4 mm, one variant of the SCHURTER SCPA family is currently the world's thinnest supercapacitor.
Features:
- World’s Thinnest Supercapacitors:
The SCPA model measures down to just 0.4 mm in thickness, making it the thinnest supercapacitor available today. - High Power Density:
Designed to deliver rapid energy discharge for high-load applications. - Low Self-Discharge:
Ensures long-term energy retention and efficiency. - Extreme Durability:
Withstands significantly more charge/discharge cycles compared to conventional rechargeable batteries. - Versatile Applications:
Ideal for mobile devices, wearables, IoT sensors, power backup systems, and energy-harvesting solutions.
Applications
The new supercapacitors from SCHURTER are ideal for demanding applications that require high capacitance in the most compact dimensions. For example, in mobile devices, wearable electronics, sensor technology, small power supplies or devices with mobile energy generation and uninterruptible power supplies.
