Murata introduces DMH supercapacitor featuring world’s lowest profile of 0.4mm

Supercapacitors have over a hundred times the capacity of ceramic capacitors and electrolytic capacitors, and as a storage device they have a longer working life than ordinary secondary batteries. Murata supercapacitors are small in size while having world-leading low ESR. By using the capacitor for peak power assist in small electronics, the product contributes to increased output and power stability as well as functional improvement of the device.

The currently launched DMH Series accommodates use in limited space, and it is ideal for use in various wearable devices, mobile electronics, smart cards, electronic paper devices, and similar applications.

The supercapacitor’s 4.5 V rated voltage provides peak power assist with lithium-ion batteries, and its 35mF large capacity and low ESR of 300mΩ enable peak power assist in tens of milliseconds with 1A.

 

With its low profile design, the DMH series is aimed at limited space applications and is ideal for use in various wearable devices, mobile electronics, smart cards, electronic paper devices, and similar applications.  Meeting the needs of this wide range of applications, the supercapacitor is able to operate over a wide temperature range of -40 to 85 °C. Production will start in February 2017.
