Supercapacitors – FG Series

Measurement Conditions cont’d

Current (at 30 minutes after charging)

Current shall be calculated from the equation below. Prior to measurement, both lead terminals must be short-circuited for a minimum

of 30 minutes. The lead terminal connected to the metal can case is connected to the negative side of the power supply.

2.7 VDC (HV Series except 50 F)

3.0 VDC (3.5 V type)

5.0 VDC (5.5 V type)

Rc: 1000 Ω (0.010 F, 0.022 F, 0.047 F)

100 Ω (0.10 F, 0.22 F, 0.47 F)

10 Ω (1.0 F, 1.5 F, 2.2 F, 4.7 F)

2.2 Ω (HV Series)

Self-Discharge Characteristic (0H – 5.5 V Products)

The self-discharge characteristic is measured by charging a voltage of 5.0 VDC (charge protection resistance: 0 Ω) according to the

capacitor polarity for 24 hours, then releasing between the pins for 24 hours and measuring the pin-to-pin voltage. The test should be

carried out in an environment with an ambient temperature of 25° C or below and relative humidity of 70% RH or below.

the soldering is checked.

4. Dismantling

There is a small amount of electrolyte stored within the capacitor. Do not attempt to dismantle as direct skin contact with the electrolyte

will cause burning. This product should be treated as industrial waste and not is not to be disposed of by fire.

Capacitance (Discharge System:3.5V)

In the diagram below, charging is performed for a duration of 30 minutes, once the voltage of the capacitor terminal reaches 3.5V.

Then, use a constant current load device and measure the time for the terminal voltage to drop from 1.8 to 1.5V upon

discharge at 1 mA per 1F, and calculate the static capacitance according to the equation shown below.

Capacitance (Discharge System:HVseries)

In the diagram below, charging is performed for a duration of 30 minutes, once the voltage of the capacitor terminal reaches

Max. operating voltage.

Then, use a constant current load device and measure the time for the terminal voltage to drop from 2.0 to 1.5V upon discharge

at 1 mA per 1F, and calculate the static capacitance according to the equation shown below.

Equivalent series resistance (ESR)

ESR shall be calculated from the equation below.

Current (at 30 minutes after charging)

Current shall be calculated from the equation below.

Prior to measurement, both lead terminals must be short-circuited for a minimum of 30 minutes.

The lead terminal connected to the metal can case is connected to the negative side of the power supply.
