Electric Double Layer Capacitors EP-Series
Panasonic Electric Double Layer Capacitors (Gold Capacitors)
were developed by the Central Research Laboratory of Panasonic in 1972, then, introduced to the
market on a commercial basis in 1978. As these capacitors perform like a battery they are ideally
suited for applications requiring a secondary power source such as backup energy for
microprocessors (real time clock etc.) and energy storage for chargers or solar batteries.
Panasonic Gold Capacitors are the ideal replacement of a secondary battery. Their main advantages against a battery are:
- Quick charge and discharge available
- No charge and discharge cycle limitation
- Green product (RoHS compliant, no hazardous substances used, like lead or cadmium)
- No recycle restriction
- No charging protection circuit needed, easy circuit design
- Maintenance Free and a very long life
SMD Gold Capacitor EP Series
For Reflow Soldering Panasonic introduced the first SMD Gold
Capacitor in 2002.
The latest product with this technology is Panasonics new EP series. This EP series is the world smallest Electric Double Layer Capacitor. The size code is 311, which means 3.8 mm dia with a height of just 1.1 mm (excluding terminals). In comparison to the current EN (size code 614) series this is a volume reduction of approx. 70%!
Due to this size the product is suitable for all small mobile devices, e.g. mobile phones, keyless entry systems, thermocontrol units or PDA's. With more and more advanced functions, these devices require backup solutions for memory backup and clock function.
