Ispringen, May 2024 – New in Rutronik’s supercap portfolio: SECH’s high-performance ultracapacitors combine the latest developments in the materials used with innovative and patented high-end manufacturing processes, thus enabling an optimal price-performance ratio. The capacitors can be PCB-soldered and have a very high energy and power density compared to similar components. They are available in industry-standard dimensions and with capacitances from 3 F to 100 F. Accordingly, they operate with high energy efficiency even at high charging and discharging currents. The ultracapacitors meet the test requirements of industry standards such as AEC-Q200, ISO16750-3, or SAE 2464 and are therefore suitable for applications in industry and the automotive sector. These and other components from SECH S.A. are available on the e-commerce platform www.rutronik24.com.

The anti-wetting ultracapacitors are available in industry standard dimensions. They operate reliably in a temperature range from -40 °C to +65 °C and have an excellent service life with a cycle stability of up to 500,000 cycles.

Available in various versions with capacities between 3 F and 100 F, they also have a very low ESR and score points with a nominal cell voltage of 3 V. Compared to similar components, SECH ultracapacitors have a very high energy and power density (up to 6 Wh / kg or up to 7 kW / kg). They can be charged and discharged particularly quickly, but are also suitable as a power backup for the power supply.
