The SMT ('surface mount technology') devices have been developed to meet customer requests for supercapacitors which can be mass assembled using standard reflow solder techniques. \n\nThe devices, which were demonstrated in working prototype form were sent though a standard reflow solder oven at 260 C with minimal change in ESR (electrical series resistance) and capacitance. The specification of the demonstration devices was ESRs of 60 and 100 milli Ohms and capacitances of 1.0 Farads and 0.5 Farads with rated voltages of 2.75V and 5.5V respectively. After reflow the ESRs and capacitances had changed by less than 10%. \n\nThe potential introduction of a SMT variant is anticipated to hasten adoption of current generation devices as handset makers develop supercapacitor enabled power architectures in high end feature phones, before introducing to high volume platforms.\n\nAnthony Kongats, CEO, CAP-XX said:\n\n'Developing a high power surface mountable supercapacitor with the CAP-XX characteristics of a thin, small form factor has been the holy grail for the mobile phone handset industry. The preservation of performance demonstrated in these trials meets the potential demands of this important core target customer group '\n\nFor further information contact:\n\nCAP-XX\nAnthony Kongats, Chief Executive Officer +61 (0)2 9428 0139\n\nKreab Gavin Anderson (Financial PR)\nRobert Speed / Deborah Walter / Anthony Hughes &...
