SOLDERING RECOMMENDATIONS
When soldering SuperCapacitors to a PCB, the temperature &
time that the body of the SuperCapacitor sees during soldering can
have a negative e󰀨ect on performance. We advise following these
guidelines:
• Do not immerse the SuperCapacitors in solder. Only the leads
should come in contact with the solder.
• Ensure that the body of the SuperCapacitor is never in contact with
the molten solder, the PCB or other components during soldering.
• Excessive temperatures or excessive temperature cycling during
soldering may cause the safety vent to burst or the case to shrink
or crack, potentially damaging the PCB or other components, and
signicantly reduce the life of the capacitor.
HAND SOLDERING
Keep distance between the SuperCapacitor body and the tip of
the soldering iron and the tip should never touch the body of the
capacitor. Contact between SuperCapacitor body and soldering iron
will cause extensive damage to the SuperCapacitor, and change
its electrical properties. It is recommended that the soldering iron
temperature should be less than 350°C, and contact time should be

REFLOW SOLDERING
Infrared or conveyor over reow techniques can be used on these
SuperCapacitors. Do not use a traditional reow oven without
clear rated reow temperature for SuperCapacitors.
limited to less than 4 seconds. Too much exposure to terminal heat
during soldering can cause heat to transfer to the body of the
SuperCapacitor, potentially damaging the electrical properties of
the SuperCapacitor.
WAVE SOLDERING
Only use wave soldering on Radial type SuperCapacitors. The
PCB should be preheated only from the bottom and for less than
60 seconds, with temperature at, or below, 100°C on the top side
of the board for PCBs equal to or greater than 0.8 mm thick.

TEST METHODS
IEC Capacitance Test Method
• Capacitance is measured using a Keithley 2400 or 2602 Meter
• Procedure
• Charge Capacitor to Rated Voltage at room temperature
• Disconnect parts from voltage to remove charging e󰀨ects
• Discharge cells with a constant current I determined by
4 * C * VR
• Noting V1, t1, V2, t2 and performing the calculation for C
Voltage
t1 t2 Times (s)
I – Discharge Current [mA], 4 * C * VR VR – Rated Voltage
V1 – Initial Test Voltage, 80% of VR
V2 – Final Test Voltage, 40% of VR
t1 – Initial Test time
t2 – Final Test time
C = I * (t2 – t1) / (V1 – V2)
DCL Measurement @ 25°C
• DCL is measured using a Multimeter with high internal impedance
across a resistor
• Charge Capacitor to Rated Voltage at room temperature
for 72 Hours
• Disconnect parts from Voltage by opening switch 1
(Stabilize for 10 Min)
• Measure Voltage across a known Valued Resistor (1K Ohm)
• Calculate DCL = V/R
Initial ESR Measurement @ 25°C
• Using an Agilent 4263B LCR Meter and a Kelvin connection
• Measure at frequency of 1000 Hz
• Measurement Voltage of 10mV
DC ESR Measurement
• Six steps capacity and ESRDC Test Method is used as
illustrated in the gure right.
• Tests are carried out by charging and discharging the capacitor
for two cycles at rated voltage and half rated voltage
• C = (CDC1+CDC2) / 2
• ESRDC = (ESRDC1 + ESRDC2) / 2
Where: CDC1 = I2*(t5-t4)/(V3-V4)
CDC2 = I2*(t11-t10)/V9-V10)
ESRDC1 = (V5-V4)/I2
ESRDC2 = (V11-V10)/I2 I1 = I2 = 75mA/F
Maximum Operating Current
• This is the maximum current when capacitor temperature rise
of the capacitor during its operation is less than 15°C
Maximum Peak Current
• This is the maximum current in less than 1 sec
Watt Density
• Watt Density = (0.12*V² / RDC) / mass
Energy Density
• Energy density = (½ CV²) / (3600*mass)

POLARITY / REVERSE VOLTAGE
In principal the positive and negative electrodes of the
SuperCapacitors are symmetrical and in theory they should
not have a polarity but for product consistency and for optimum
performance the negative polarity is marked because the capacitors
do not discharge completely when in use. It is recommended that
the polarity should be used as marked. If the polarity is reversed
the circuit will not have a catastrophic failure but the circuit will see a
much higher leakage current for a short duration of time and the life
time of the SuperCapacitors will be reduced.
LIFE TIME AND TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE
The life of a SuperCapacitor is impacted by a combination of
operating voltage and the operating temperature according to the
following equation:
time to failure, t ∞ Vn * exp (-Q / k*T) …………..(1)
where V is the voltage of operation, Q is the activation energy in
electron volts (eV), k is the Boltzmann’s constant in eV and T is the
operating temperature in °K (where K is in degrees Kelvin). Typical
values for the voltage exponent, n, is between 2.5 - 3.5, and Q is
between 1.0 - 1.2 eV in the normal operating temperature range of
40° to 65°C.
The industry standard for SuperCapacitor end of life is when
the equivalent series resistance, ESR, increases to 200% of
the original value and the capacitance drops by 30%. Typically
a super-capacitance shows an initial change in the ESR value
and then levels o󰀨. If the capacitors are exposed to excessive
temperatures the ESR will show a continuous degradation. In the
extreme case, if the temperatures or voltages are substantially
higher, than the rated voltage, this will lead to cell leakage or gas
leakage and the product will show a faster change in the ESR
which may increase to many times the original value.
