WIMA Double-Layer Capacitors in Cylindrical Metal Case The new WIMA SuperCaps "C" series is currently available in capacitances of 110, 200, 600 and 1200 Farad (2700 F under preparation), and thus completes the existing range of WIMA Double- Layer Capacitors with rectangular casing and beyond that offers a convenient substitution option for brands of other manufacturers. The WIMA SuperCap C is outstandingly suitable for energy storage applications where high loads need to be discharged and/or charged at a very short time. To achieve the corresponding operating voltage needed by the application SuperCaps are cascaded in so-called modules. Contrary to conventional energy storage on battery basis the charged energy can at any time be safely retrieved from the SuperCap module without any risk of a sudden voltage breakdown.

Intermediate Circuit Capacitors WIMA DC-LINK MKP 4 capacitors are especially designed for applications in high power converter technology where due to increasing electrical requirements they are more and more substituting electrolytic capacitors. Manufactured with a low loss polypropylene dielectric they show a higher current carrying capability as well as lower dissipation/self-heating at high frequencies compared to electrolytic capacitors.

Small in Size, high in Capacitance WIMA MKS 2-XL capacitors are made of plastic film which is 60 times thinner than human hair. This results in components with extremely high capacitance values in comparatively small cases. Values up to 22 µF so far requiring a PCM of 27.5 mm are now available in PCM 5 mm. With the new values the highest available capacitance in PCM 5 mm could be more than doubled. More information ...

WIMA Double-Layer Capacitors with very High Capacitances The Double-Layer Capacitors developed by WIMA are storage capacitors with highest capacitance values in the Farad range. They are among others suited to serve as batteries, can deliver considerably higher currents for a short time, however, and are maintenance free. More information ...

Is the Film Capacitor a Discontinued Model? Is the film capacitor in the process of becoming a victim of technical progress or is it a case of a passive electronic component which, when considered superficially, just runs the risk of being underestimated more easily than others, but nevertheless still holds potential for the future. This topic is to be treated in the following text from the point of view of a film capacitor specialist. More information...
