Supercapacitors
FM Series
Overview
Applications
Supercapacitors have characteristics ranging from traditional
capacitors and batteries. As a result, supercapacitors can be
used like a secondary battery when applied in a DC circuit.
These devices are best suited for use in low voltage DC hold-up
applications such as embedded microprocessor systems with
flash memory.
FM Series Supercapacitors, also known as Electric Double-
Layer Capacitors (EDLCs), are intended for high energy storage
applications.
Benefits
• Rectangular case
• Wide range of temperature from -25°C to +70°C (all types
except FMR) and -40°C to +85°C (FMR type)
• Maintenance free
• 3.5 VDC, 5.5 VDC, and 6.5 VDC
• Highly reliable against liquid leakage
• Lead-free and RoHS Compliant
• Leads can be transverse mounted

Supercapacitors – FM Series
Performance Characteristics
Supercapacitors should not be used for applications such as ripple absorption because of their high internal resistance (several
hundred mΩ to a hundred Ω) compared to aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Thus, its main use would be similar to that of secondary
battery such as power back-up in DC circuit. The following list shows the characteristics of supercapacitors as compared to aluminum
electrolytic capacitors for power back-up and secondary batteries.

(*1) Aluminum electrolytic capacitors and supercapacitors have limited lifetime. However, when used under proper conditions, both can operate within a
predetermined lifetime.
(*2) There is no harm as it is a mere leak of water vapor which transitioned from water contained in the electrolyte (diluted sulfuric acid). However, application of
abnormal voltage surge exceeding maximum operating voltage may result in leakage and explosion.
