AVX Expands BestCap® Series to Include an Ultra-Low ESR, Double Layer Capacitor for Wireless Applications
Double layer capacitor features superior high power pulse characteristics...
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (October 21, 2008) -- AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of advanced passive components and interconnect solutions, has expanded BestCap® Series to include an ultra-low ESR double layer capacitors with an expanded temperature range from -40º to 75ºC. Ideal for wireless applications, the capacitor series features high capacitance values and power pulse characteristics for high current, short pulse applications including GSM /GPRS wireless based systems, USB modems, automatic meter reading systems, hand held scanners, battery chatter, dying gasp and memory back-up systems. The BestCap double layer capacitors are available in three different standard sizes with voltage ratings from 3V to 15V and a capacitance range from 6.8 milli-farad to 1 Farad.
"With the combination of its high capacitance and low ESR, AVX offers the industry's most advanced double layer capacitors," said Bharat Rawal, Manager, BestCap Technology, Advanced Products. "We are excited about the opportunity to provide our customers with a device that features a unique combination of high pulse power and high energy characteristics."
The three standard sizes for the BestCap capacitor include BZ05 (20*15 mm), BZ01 (28*17 mm) and BZ02 (48*30 mm). The BZ05 size offers the most aggressive capacitance value offering of 68 milli-farads at 5.5V and 6.8 milli-farads at 15V. The BZ02 has the largest capacitance value with 1 Farad at 5.5V and 68 milli-farads at 15V
Typical pricing for the double layer capacitors start at $2.90 each with delivery from stock to 10 weeks.
