CAP-XX releases Thinline, the world's thinnest supercapacitors

CAP-XX, a world leader in supercapacitors, announces the launch and commercial availability of its Thinline range of ultra-thin supercapacitors. This new range has been released to address the space-constrained needs of new products developed for the Internet of Things (IoT).

Thinline is designed for use in ultra-thin electronic devices, including wearable devices, such as medical, fitness and health monitors, smart watches, drug delivery systems. Targeting high volume applications, the device has a significantly lower ASP than larger supercapacitors.

CAP-XX Thinline supercapacitors will support pulsed loads from radio frequency modules such as Bluetooth, BTE, Zigbee, Z-Wave^TM and  Ant^TMand can work with thin film, solid state and coin cell batteries, energy harvesting modules and inductive recharging systems.

Key features of the CAP-XX Thinline series include:

·     Extremely thin, flexible package (0.6mm thick)

·     Best-in-class power density (up to 117kW / litre) and high power output

·     Ultra-low resistance (ESR from 16mΩ), even at low temperatures

·     Excellent energy storage (up to 0.8Wh / litre)

·     High cell voltages (up to 2.75V continuous)

·     Virtually unlimited charge-discharge cycle life

Typical Applications

·     Peak power for pulsed loads

·     Enable the use of small, low power batteries

·     Extend battery run-time and cycle life

·     Support peak loads such as wireless transmissions, vibration alerts, GPS location

·     Stored energy for low/variable power source

·     Enable the use of ambient energy harvesting modules

·     Enable ultra-quick charging times for portable devices and process equipment

·     Backup power for mission-critical applications

Commenting on the launch, CAP-XX  Chief Executive, Anthony Kongats, said

"We are pleased to have launched the Thinline range of supercapacitors, which directly addresses the demands of developers of devices for the "internet of things (IOT)" including wearable devices, such as medical, fitness and health monitors, smart watches, and drug delivery systems."
