Farnell element14 is launching the Vishay hybrid storage 196 HVC ENYCAP capacitors which are portable, compact and facilitate high-energy storage. Priced from £13.39 with price breaks for higher volumes the capacitors have the industry’s highest energy density (13 Ws/g) as well as polarised storage capacitor with high capacitance (up to 90 degrees F).

Ideal as a storage device for energy harvesting, the capacitors are an alternative to rechargeable backup batteries as they can hold 70% of their charge for as long as a month.

They support voltages ranging from 1.4V (single cell) to 2.8V / 4.2V / 5.6V / 7.0V / 8.4V (multiple cells) and are available as stacked through-hole (STH, radial), surface mount flat (SMF) and lay-flat configurations (LPC) with wire and connectors.

Their low profile (2.5 mm) means they are the right size for portable and compact designs.

Hybrid Storage 196 HVC ENYCAP Capacitors are part of Vishay’s Super 12 range.
