Tecate unveils Powerburst ultracapacitor modules

The multi-cell modules were developed together with Maxwell and employ radial 350F, 2.7V ultracapacitor cells to facilitate a 58 F module with an ESR of 22.4mohms and 16.2V working voltage.

Targeting industrial OEMs/ODMs, the compact PBD module are designed to provide cost-effective energy storage and power delivery solutions for uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), telecommunications and other industrial electronics applications.

The modules are comprised of RoHS-compliant, UL recognised ultracapacitor cells.

They also feature an active cell balancing topology to provide efficient balancing between the cells and to minimise any additional current leakage.

Parts are designed to withstand more than 500,000 cycles or 10 years of life under specified operation conditions.

Tecate's Powerburst PBD ultracapacitor modules can be specified to perform a variety of energy storage and power-delivery functions in a range of both 'peak power shaving' and 'back-up power assist' applications, including transportation, industrial systems and equipment.

Parts are appropriate for use in rail systems, windmill pitch control systems, and wireless transmission applications.

The ultracapacitor modules feature a capacitance of 58.0F and a working voltage of 16.2V.

The small-footprint, shrink-wrapped, screw terminal modules weigh 514g and measure 229 x 68 x 38mm.

For more demanding applications, PBD modules are available encased in a rugged aluminium housing.

These robust parts are provided with mounting slots, weigh 943g and measure 233 x 85 x 44mm.

Powerburst PBD modules are rated for an operating temperature of -40C to +65C.
