Convincing industry-wide with high reliability: EATON's XLR-LV supercapacitors - now at Rutronik

11/21/2024 Product News

The combination of proprietary, environmentally friendly materials, and processes with the design of an electric double layer capacitor makes the XLR-LV supercapacitors from EATON extremely reliable. These powerful energy storage devices are available in different variations for a variety of capacitor solutions. The modules, with a capacity of 500 F, are maintenance-free at operating temperatures of -40°C to +65°C and have a lifespan of up to 20 years. They are characterized by an extremely low ESR of 1.7 mOhm, particularly high surge strength and minimal standby current. They are UL810a certified, RoHS compliant, and achieve the highest IP65 protection rating. This makes them ideal for use in advanced applications such as emergency power supply, pulse power supply, and hybrid energy systems. The capacitors are available at www.rutronik24.com.

The energy storage devices are installed in aluminum housings for better mechanical integrity and cooling and have a laser-welded internal structure that ensures their high reliability. In order to achieve 18 V / 500 F in the same housing size as comparable products, the XLR-LV supercapacitors are now available with 3 V cell technology.

They can be used as the sole energy store, but also in combination with batteries to reduce costs and optimize service life and operating time. The capacitors can withstand surge voltages of up to 105% of the maximum operating voltage, have a capacitance tolerance of -5% to +20% and boast four industry-leading best values:

  • Minimal ESR (1.7 mOhm)
  • Extremely low standby current (max. 8 mA)
  • Protection class IP65
  • Maximum shock and vibration resistance (SAE J2464 & J2380)

Benefits at a glance:

  • Long service life of up to 20 years
  • Wide temperature range from -40°C to +65°C
  • High reliability
  • Low operating costs
  • Maintenance-free
  • RoHS compliant
  • UL810a certified

Application examples:

  • Automated warehousing
  • Main drive power supply for AGV vehicles (rechargeable in 20 seconds)
  • H2 fuel cells for power ramps management
  • Backup for industrial machinery
