Electric Double Layer Capacitors for Energy Storage and Rapid Charge Applications

Electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs), also referred to as supercapacitors or ultracapacitors, are used in applications requiring high capacitance, rapid charge and discharge capability, and long cycle life.
They are positioned between conventional capacitors and rechargeable batteries in terms of energy density and power delivery.
The TS12S-S series provides compact form factors with low leakage characteristics for energy storage functions.

Capacitance and Voltage Characteristics

EDLC devices provide far higher capacitance values than traditional electrolytic capacitors.
The TS12S-S series offers capacitance from 0.15 F to 8.0 F with rated voltages from 2.7 V to 5.5 V,
supporting low-voltage energy storage and backup power designs.

• Capacitance range: 0.15 F to 8.0 F
• Rated voltage: 2.7 V to 5.5 V
• Low leakage current
• Compact package structure

Charge and Discharge Performance

Supercapacitors enable rapid charging and discharging compared with battery-based storage.
This characteristic supports load leveling, short-term energy buffering, and peak power assistance in electronic systems.

• Fast charge and discharge capability
• High power delivery for transient loads
• Stable cycling performance
• Suitable for repeated charge cycles

Mechanical Configuration

The TS12S-S series is available in vertical and horizontal mounting types, allowing flexible integration into different PCB layouts and enclosure constraints.

• Vertical (V) type
• Horizontal (H) type
• Miniature size for compact systems
• High reliability structure

Applications

• Environmental monitoring systems
• Hybrid electric vehicle subsystems
• Load leveling circuits
• Backup power for memory and real-time clocks
• Energy buffering in low-voltage electronics

Design Considerations

• Ensure operating voltage remains within rated limits
• Consider series connection for higher voltage systems
• Evaluate leakage current for long-term backup applications
• Match capacitance to required hold-up time and load profile
