Swiss electrical and electronic components manufacturer SCHURTER has launched a range of super-thin prismatic supercapacitors for high switching loads. With a thickness of just 0.4 mm, one variant of the SCHURTER SCPA family is currently the world’s thinnest supercapacitor.
Compared to rechargeable batteries of the same weight, supercapacitors only have around 10 % of the energy density. However, their power density is around ten to a hundred times greater. Supercapacitors can therefore be charged and discharged much faster. They also withstand many more charging cycles than rechargeable batteries and are therefore suitable as a replacement or supplement wherever high switching loads are required.
The new supercapacitors from SCHURTER are ideal for demanding applications that require high capacitance in the most compact dimensions. For example, in mobile devices, wearable electronics, sensor technology, small power supplies or devices with mobile energy generation and uninterruptible power supplies.
