Maxwell Technologies Introduces New BOOSTCAP® Ultracapacitor Energy Storage Products for Industrial and Consumer Electronics Applications

New HC Product Family Includes Compact, Cost-Effective, 25- 50- and 150-Farad Cells

Today more than ever, system designers recognise that ultracapacitors enhance energy efficiency and functionality and provide 'life of the application' durability for virtually any electronic device or system. The new HC product family responds to growing demand by delivering Maxwell's industry-leading technology in new form factors that are suitable for a broader range of electronic applications.

Maxwell Technologies, available through GLYN High-Tech Distribution, introduces the new HC family of ultracapacitors which includes compact, cost-effective, 25-, 50- 150-farad cells, all rated at 2.7 volts. Typical applications benefiting from ultracapacitor cells in the 25-to-150-farad range include:

● Robotics and factory automation
● Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems for industrial and telecommunications installations
● Renewable energy systems, including solar and wind energy generation systems
● Cordless power tools
● Consumer electronics

Key features and benefits include:

● Reliable performance for 500,000 or more charge/discharge cycles
● Zero maintenance over estimated 10-year operating lifetime
● Broad operational temperature range (-40 to +65C)
● High power and energy density in low-volume, lightweight package
● Two-pin radial design for easy mounting
● Resistant to reverse polarity
● Scalable to higher voltages via multi-cell configurations
