XLR-LV supercapacitor modules from EATON

With the XLR-16R2507B-R (16V/500F) and XLR-18R0507B-R (18V/500F) supercapacitor modules, EATON offers significantly optimised successor models for the previous XLR-16R2507-R series. Due to their low self-discharge and low leakage current, the modules also convince with a longer service life. Thanks to the IP65 housing and stable performance at operating temperatures between -40°C and +85°C, they are predestined for use in harsh environments.

The supercapacitor modules can be used as a stand-alone energy storage device or in combination with batteries to optimise cost, lifetime, and uptime. System requirements can range from a few microwatts to megawatts.

In addition, they have extruded aluminium sidewalls, which can provide improved heat dissipation and mechanical stability. The laser-welded internal structure allows reduced overall weight and ensures that ESR remains stably low throughout the lifetime and power density does not decrease – even when the component is subjected to shock and vibration over an extended period.

Advantages at a glance:

• Capacitance of 500F
• Maximum permissible operating voltage of 16 or 18V
