KEMET Corporation (NYSE: KEM), a leading global supplier of electronic components, today announced the release of its Supercapacitor Development Balancing Kit.
This kit complements the KEMET S301 Supercapacitor and includes a 2-stage active balancing circuit to ensure that voltage across each Supercapacitor cell is approximately equal. Typical applications include product validation, prototyping, low volume production and custom configurations in a variety of markets.
The kit features high frequencyThe number of complete cycles or vibrations per unit of time. Rate of alternation in an AC current. Expressed in cycles per second or hertz (Hz). capacitanceThat property of a system of conductors and dielectrics which permits the storage of electricity when potential difference exists between the conductors. Its value is expressed as the ratio of a quantity of electricity to a potential difference. A capacitance value is always positive. retention, energy delivery capabilities and reliability, as well as overvoltageA voltage above the normal operating voltage of a device or circuit. In a dielectricThe insulating material between the plates of the capacitor. The material is chosen for its ability to permit electrostatic attraction and repulsion to take place across it. The material will have the property that energy required to establish an electric field is recoverable in whole or in part, as electric energy. In other words, a good dielectric material is a poor conductor of electricity while being an effective supporter of electrostatic fields. withstand test, capacitors are overvoltage-tested (Hi-potted) at 1.5X or 2X its rated voltage to assure quality and workmanship. protection and RoHS compliance. Each kit contains enough balancing cards, bus bars, screws, washers and wire to assemble six S301 60 mm diameter cells.
