Low impedance capacitors take the heat
Specialist distributor, Young Electronics, has launched a new series of surface mount capacitors that boast low impedance and high heat capability.
Infra-red remote control receivers
Small, high-performance receivers for infra-red remote control systems, NJL65V/68H000 series parts feature a metal case with mesh window, which dramatically improve EMI characteristics.
Furthermore, the new PC5 can relieve batteries of burst power functions, thereby reducing costs by maximising space and energy efficiency.
The PC5 ultracapacitor has a capacitance of 4F at 2.5V and a rated current of 1A.
It features an electrostatic capability that can sustain over 500,000 duty cycles, is supplied in a package measuring 14 x 23.6 x 4.8mm and weighs only 5.5g.
Operating temperature range is -40 to +70C.
UL recognised, the PC5 ultracapacitor is ideal for consumer electronics, wireless transmission, medical devices, automatic meter readers and many other applications requiring a pulse of energy that cannot be efficiently provided by a battery or power supply alone.
The PC5 works in tandem with batteries for applications that require both a constant low power discharge for continual function and a pulse power for peak loads.
In these applications, the device relieves batteries of peak power functions resulting in an extension of battery life and a reduction of overall battery size and cost.
The PC5 is also an ideal source of backup power and pulse.
It can provide extended power availability, allowing critical information and functions to remain available during dips, sags, and outages in a power supply or battery change.
And, as is the case for all Boostcap products, the PC5 is capable of accepting charges at the identical rate of discharge.
