Note: When the supercapacitor is used under stressed conditions, it is expected to see some expansion of the supercapacitor. Expansion of the supercapacitor will not affect lifetime or performance.
## **SOLDERING RECOMMENDATIONS**
PrizmaCap products can be mounted on PCBs either by hand soldering or use of a solder iron robot which selectively heats only the capacitor terminals. IR reflow or wave soldering may not be used. The soldering iron must never come in contact with the body of the capacitor. Temperatures and times above those recommended can cause damage to the body of the capacitor and potentially damaging the electrical properties.
## **HAND SOLDERING**
Keep some distance between the supercapacitor body and the tip of the soldering iron; contact between supercapacitor body and soldering iron will cause extensive damage to the supercapacitor. It is recommended that the soldering iron temperature should be less than 350°C, and contact time should be limited to no more 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 supercapacitor.

## **SCP Series PrizmaCap™**
## **TEST METHODS**
## **IEC CAPACITANCE TEST METHOD 62391-1**
Capacitance is measured using a sourcemeter (Keithley 2400 for example). Alternately, a power supply and load may be used, but accuracy can be compromised. Procedure:
- Charge capacitor to Rated Voltage at room temperature
- Continue charging at Constant Voltage for 30 minutes
- Remove the charge and allow 10 seconds for the capacitor to stabilize
- Discharge cells with a constant current, I (mA) determined by 4 x CR x VR
- At 80%VR record (V1, t1) and at 40% VR record (V2, t2 )
- I 4 x CR x VR (mA)
- V1 Start Voltage, 80% VR (Volts)
- V2 End Voltage, 40% VR (Volts)
- t1 Start Time (sec.)
- t2 End Time (sec.)
Calculate Capacitance in Farads (using I in Amps.).
Capacitance – C = I x (t1 – t2)/(V1 – V2) (Farads)
_Figure 1; Constant current discharge method for capacitance, and V3 voltage drop for DCESR._
## **AC ESR MEASUREMENT**
ACESR is measured using an LCR Meter and a Kelvin connection
Procedure:
- Measure at frequency of 1000 Hz
- Signal level of 1,000mV
- Record series resistance, Rs (Ohms)
## **DC ESR MEASUREMENT**
DCESR can be calculated from figure 1, where RDC = V3/I
Procedure:
- To determine V3, use a straight-line approximation of the two voltage versus time curves and determine the intersection of the lines (shown in the magnified figure).
Accuracy can be increased by using a high data acquisition rate.
Alternately, DCESR is measured using an LCR Meter and a Kelvin connection.
Procedure:
- Measure at frequency of 20 Hz
- Signal level of 1,000mV
- Record DC series resistance, RDC (Ohms)

## **SCP Series PrizmaCap™**
## **TEST METHODS**
## **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
## **POWER DENSITY**
- Power Density = (0.12*V² / RDC ) / mass
## **ENERGY DENSITY**
- Energy density = (½ CV²) / (3600*mass)
## **POLARITY / REVERSE VOLTAGE**
For product consistency and optimum performance, it is recommended that the capacitor be connected with polarity indicated. Reversing polarity could result in permanent damage to the circuit including 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 Time to Failure equation:
## t ∝ V[n ] × e[(-Q/kT)]
where V is the operating voltage, Q is the activation energy in electron volts (eV), k is the Boltzmann constant in eV, and T is the operating temperature in Kelvin (K). 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 specified value and the capacitance drops by 30% from specified value. Typically a supercapacitor shows an initial “jump” in the ESR value and then levels off. If the supercapacitors are exposed to excessive temperatures the ESR will show a continuous degradation (increase). In the extreme case, if the temperature or voltage are substantially higher than the rated specifications, this could result in the part venting and the product showing a faster degradation of capacitance and ESR, which may be many times the specified value.

## **REGULATORY**
- RoHS Compliant
- REACH Compliant
## **STORAGE**
- Capacitors may be stored within the temperature range of -40°C to +70°C with humidity < 60%. Lower storage temperature is preferred as it extends the shelf life of the capacitor. Product over one year and within two years of the date code, we recommend recharging the product at the beginning of use for at least 24 hours.
Optimum storage conditions are as follows:
- 25°C and RH ≤ 60% without voltage applied
- Not in direct sunlight
- Not in direct contact with water, salt oil or other chemicals
- Not in direct contact with corrosive materials, acids, alkalis, or toxic gases
