Vishay ENYCAP Energy Storage Hybrid Double Layer Capacitors

Vishay / BC Components Energy Storage Hybrid Double Layer Capacitors (EDLCs) include EDLC supercaps and HVC hybrid supercaps, which are polarized energy storage capacitors with high capacity and energy density. EDLC supercaps feature high voltage cells up to 3V, a 5F to 60F capacitance range, and a useful life rating of up to 2000 hours at +85°C. 196 HVC hybrid supercaps have up to 460WS energy storage, 3A maximum discharge rating, and voltage flexibility of 1.4V to 8.4V capacitance values are 4F, 15F, and 90f. These EDLCs are suitable for power backup, energy recovery, storage devices for energy harvesting, and emergency light and micro UPS power sources, depending on the models..
