Electric Double Layer Capacitors (Gold Capacitors) were first developed by the Central Research Labrorator of Panasonic in 1972, then marketed and sold on a worldwide basis in 1978. Because these capacitors function like a battery, they are ideally suited for applications requiring a secondary power source such as back-up energy for microprocessors (such as real time clocks) and energy storage for chargers or solar batteries.

Features & Benefits:

• Functions similar to a battery; ideal replacement solution of secondary battery
• Quick charge and discharge available
• No charge and discharge cycle limitation
• Green product (RoHS compliant, no hazardous substances used)
• No charging circuit needed
• Maintenance free

Applications:

• Secondary Power Source (e.g. Back-up Energy for Microprocessors)
• Energy Storage (for Chargers and Solar Batteries)
