Rutronik expands automotive portfolio with Kyocera AVX supercapacitors
5 April 2023 
Kyocera AVX has expanded its SCC series to include six automotive-certified supercapacitors. The cylindrical SCC automotive grade supercapacitors were tested against the requirements of AEC-Q200 std and operate in both mechanically and electrically challenging conditions, said the company, whether in electronic-mechanical locking (e-latch), emergency call systems (e-Call), electronic recording (e-video), regenerative braking, power, and emergency power systems.
The automotive-grade supercapacitors have a very low ESR value, high capacitance and “excellent” pulse power handling characteristics. The capacitors meet UL 810A, RoHS and REACH requirements.
They are available in 25F / 2.7V, 100F / 2.7V, 10F / 3V, 35F / 3V, 50F / 3 as well as 100F / 3V.
To extend back-up times and battery life and to take advantage of instantaneous pulse power, the supercapacitors can be used alone or in conjunction with primary or secondary batteries.
