New Panasonic HL Series Electric Double
Layer Capacitors (ELDC) “Gold Capacitors”
offer long life and superior performance over
secondary batteries for auxiliary power
applications
Low resistance, ultra-fast charge and discharge cycle;
suits backup power supplies for servers and solar
applications
Panasonic Automotive & Industrial Systems Europe
announces its new HL Series Electric Double Layer
Capacitors (ELDCs), which offer low resistance
combined with guaranteed long life over a wide
temperature range, down to -40deg.C and extending
to +65degC. Panasonic HL Series gold capacitors
are wound radial lead type devices, which achieve far
better capacitance compared to aluminium electrolytic
capacitors (up to 1,000 times greater) and superior
charge and discharge performance compared with
secondary batteries. The further benefit of a rapid
charge and discharge cycles, (over 100,000 times) and
exceptional ageing characteristics make Panasonic HL
Series ELDCs ideal for applications such as backup
power supplies for servers and storage devices,
auxiliary power supplies for solar-powered products
including street lighting, and driver-assist for motors
and actuators in a variety of markets.
Maximum operating voltage for the HL Series is 2.7VDC
and nominal capacitance ranges from 50 F to 100 F.
These ELDCs are also guaranteed to maintain their
capacitance and internal resistance without drifting at
low temperatures, as opposed to market competition
where capacitance and internal resistance may
change up to ± 30% and ≤ 7 times respectively of initial
measured values. Both the 50F device and the 100F
device in the HL Series are guaranteed for a life of 2,000
hours at +65degC. For power backup applications,
ageing characteristics influence the choice of EDLC
due to the rise in internal resistance and rapid decline
in capacitance. Due to the unique electrolyte used in
Panasonic parts, these ageing effects are mitigated
besides delivering significant space-saving.
Mustafa Khan, Product Marketing Manager Capacitors
at Panasonic comments: “Our new HL Series raises
the bar for reliability, endurance and scalable backup
solutions offering opportunities for cost and space-
saving. Another reason piquing the market interest
for our EDLCs is the use of leakage safe electrolyte
material which does not result in release of Hydrogen
Cyanide. This market differentiation has won us many
environmentally conscientious customers”.

Film Chip Resistors Combine Superior Pulse
and ESD Handling With High Power Rating for
Automotive and Industrial Applications
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today
released a new series of anti-surge, high-power thick
film chip resistors optimized for automotive and industrial
applications.
For applications subject to high and repetitive surge
pulses, devices in the AEC-Q200-qualified Vishay
Draloric RCS e3 series offer superior pulse load
performance and ESD surge characteristics when
compared to standard chip resistors. In addition, the
devices provide higher power ratings up to 0.4 W.
RCS e3 series resistors are available in three compact
case sizes to save space on densely packed PCBs
— 0402, 0603, and 0805. With its specified power of
0.25 W, the RCS0603 e3 resistor covers the power
ratings of standard 0603, 0805, and 1206 resistors,
allowing designers to standardize components and take
advantage of the lower costs of smaller components.
The devices offer a resistance range from 1 Ω to 10 MΩ
