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.
Minimal thickness of 0.4 mm
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 probably the world's thinnest supercapacitor. The SCPA models are designed to deliver rapid energy discharge for high-load applications, ensure long-term energy retention and efficiency and withstand significantly more charge/discharge cycles compared to conventional rechargeable batteries.
The new supercapacitors 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.
