Custom and Off-the-Shelf Devices Provide Maximum Design Flexibility
in Space-Constrained Systems
San Diego, CA, June 9, 2011...Announced today by Tecate Group, A
leading global supplier of capacitors and ultracapacitors, is the
availability of custom and standard ultracapacitor cells and modules
specifically engineered for today's Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) and
smart grid applications. Parts are members of Tecate's UL 810
Recognized PowerBurst® family, which is comprised of the general
purpose TPL and TPLS Series of 2.7V cells, as well as the TPLE Series of
2.3V cells featuring a -40 to +85 degrees C temperature range. The
flat prismatic PC5 and PC10 Series of 2.5V cells are provided for
applications where height is limited. For applications requiring
modules, the low- and ultra-low profile PB/PBF/PBL/PBLL Series of 5.0V
and 5.4V devices are offered. Parts notably offer OEMs/ODMs the
competitive advantage of ensuring product and system safety while
minimizing the time and expense associated with additional
component-level testing. To further speed time-to-market, Tecate's
customization capabilities include the use of SolidWorks® 3D CAD (MCAD)
software to facilitate superior design flexibility, responsiveness, and
application engineering support. The high power density cells feature
capacitance values ranging from 0.5F to 400F and low Equivalent Series
Resistance (ESR). Modules withstand over 500,000 cycles.
Ideally suited for use in low profile/small footprint systems and
products, Tecate's RoHS-compliant ultracapacitor cells and modules
target today's AMR and smart grid applications in which consumption,
diagnostic, and status data is collected from water or energy metering
devices (gas and electric), and then transferred to a central database
for billing, troubleshooting, and analysis. The parts provide
battery-free "last gasp" power, and satisfy the high current pulse
requirements of AMS technology. They also provide critical backup power
during power outages to ensure uninterrupted communication to/from the
grid. Capable of operating at low temperatures (-40 degrees C), parts
supplement batteries for low temperature boost, and relieve batteries of
peak power functions to extend batteries' life.
Tecate's PB/PBF/PBL/PBLL/ Series of modules are available with active
or passive cell balancing, and with radial leads or flexible wire and
connectors to eliminate the need for soldering. They are provided in an
array of standard and custom high voltage, advanced circuitry and
packaging options to meet application- specific requirements. For

While firm pricing is determined according to customers'
specifications, average prices for PowerBurst ultracapacitor modules
range from $12.00 to $92.00 in quantities of 50+. In quantities of 1K,
average pricing for 2.3V PowerBurst ultracapacitor cells ranges from
$1.25 to $7.75, $7.00 to $17.00 for 2.5V cells, and $1.00 to $19.00 for
2.7V cells. ARO delivery on standard cells and modules is 8 to 10
weeks.
