TVA Supercapacitor from Eaton provides sustainable storage
The cylindrical TVA supercapacitor by Eaton is an automotive quality, high performance and reliable energy storage device with AEC-Q200 qualification.
It is based on the design of an electrical double layer capacitor (EDLC) and uses proprietary processes and materials to offer high capacitance and is now available from Rutronik. The capacitors are suitable for automotive applications, offering high reliability, low internal resistance and long life, said the company. They can be specified where reliable supply is required in modern vehicles (e. g., electrical system stabilisation, electric door locks, e-call). They are also suitable for peak load provision and hybrid power systems and emergency power supplies.
The TVA supercapacitors can be used as standalone energy storage devices or in combination with batteries to optimise application lifetime, performance and cost. An operating voltage of 3V ensures high power and energy. The low ESR values also enable high power density. Capacitance is 25 F to 100 F and tolerance is 20 degrees C is between -10 and +30 per cent.
The capacitors are maintenance-free and have a service life of up to 20 years (depending on applied voltage and temperature). They are lead-free, halogen-free and RoHS-compliant. The component allows an operating temperature of -40 to +85 degrees C.
