KEMET FMD series supercapacitors

FMD series supercapacitors, also known as electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), are intended for power back-up in automotive applications. Enhancements to the design and selected material upgrades were introduced to deliver 1,000 hours at 85°C/85% RH rated voltage and automotive testing protocol with extended maximum operational temperature life up to 85°C. These capacitors are manufactured in an ISO TS 16949 certified plant and are subjected to PPAP/ PSW, as well as change control.

Features

• Automotive testing protocol
• TS 16949 certified plant
• Subject to PPAP/PSW and change control
• Wide range of temperature from -40°C to +85°C
• Maintenance free
• Maximum operating voltage of 5.5VDC
• Highly reliable against liquid leakage
• Lead-free and RoHS compliant

Applications

• Supercapacitors have characteristics ranging from traditional capacitors and batteries. As a result, supercapacitors can be used like a secondary battery when applied in a DC circuit. These devices are best suited for use in low voltage DC hold-up applications such as embedded microprocessor systems with flash memory. FMD type automotive grade supercapacitors can be stable under harsh environmental conditions such as high humidity and high temperature
