Double layer capacitors offer ‘superior’ reliability

A new family of double layer capacitors has been unveiled by Murata, which it says offers superior long term, high temperature reliability (five years at 70°C).

The DMT series also offers a maximum operating temperature of 85°C, low resistance (130mO of high current, high output charging and discharging), a nominal capacitance range of 470mF, and high voltage handling (4.2V). Measuring 14 x 21mm with a thickness of just 3.5mm, the devices are suited to applications such as ssd and communication system backup, power assistance for smart meters, and energy harvesting devices.
