SOLDERING RECOMMENDATIONS
When soldering SuperCapacitors to a PCB, the temperature &
time that the body of the SuperCapacitor sees during soldering
can have a negative e󰀨ect on performance. We advise following
these guidelines:
• Do not immerse the SuperCapacitors in solder. Only the leads
should come in contact with the solder.
• Ensure that the body of the SuperCapacitor is never in contact
with the molten solder, the PCB or other components during
soldering.
• Excessive temperatures or excessive temperature cycling
during soldering may cause the safety vent to burst or the
case to shrink or crack, potentially damaging the PCB or other
components, and signicantly reduce the life of the capacitor.
HAND SOLDERING
Keep distance between the SuperCapacitor body and the tip of
the soldering iron and the tip should never touch the body of the
capacitor. Contact between SuperCapacitor body and soldering
iron will cause extensive damage to the SuperCapacitor, and
change its electrical properties. It is recommended that the
soldering iron temperature should be less than 350°C, and
contact time should be limited to less 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 electrical properties of the SuperCapacitor.
WAVE SOLDERING
Only use wave soldering on Radial type SuperCapacitors. The
PCB should be preheated only from the bottom and for less than
60 seconds, with temperature at, or below, 100°C on the top side
of the board for PCBs equal to or greater than 0.8 mm thick.
REFLOW SOLDERING
Infrared or conveyor over reow techniques can be used on
these SuperCapacitors. Do not use a traditional reow oven
without clear rated reow temperature for SuperCapacitors.

TEST METHODS
IEC Capacitance Test Method
Capacitance is measured using a Keithley 2400 or 2602 Meter
• Procedure
• Charge Capacitor to Rated Voltage at room temperature
• Disconnect parts from voltage to remove charging e󰀨ects
• Discharge cells with a constant current I determined by
4 * C * VR
• Noting V1, t1, V2, t2 and performing the calculation for C
I – Discharge Current [mA], 4 * C * VR VR – Rated Voltage
V1 – Initial Test Voltage, 80% of VR
V2 – Final Test Voltage, 40% of VR
t1 – Initial Test time
t2 – Final Test time
C = I * (t2 – t1) / (V1 – V2)
DCL Measurement @ 25°C
DCL is measured using a Multimeter with high internal impedance
across a resistor
• Charge Capacitor to Rated Voltage at room temperature
for 72 Hours
• Disconnect parts from Voltage by opening switch 1
(Stabilize for 10 Min)
• Measure Voltage across a known Valued Resistor (1K Ohm)
• Calculate DCL = V/R
Initial ESR Measurement @ 25°C
• Using an Agilent 4263B LCR Meter and a Kelvin connection
• Measure at frequency of 1000 Hz
• Measurement Voltage of 10mV
DC ESR Measurement
Six steps capacity and ESRDC Test Method is used as illustrated in
the gure right.
• Tests are carried out by charging and discharging the capacitor
for two cycles at rated voltage and half rated voltage
• C = (CDC1+CDC2) / 2
• ESRDC = (ESRDC1 + ESRDC2) / 2
Where: CDC1 = I2*(t5-t4)/(V3-V4)
CDC2 = I2*(t11-t10)/V9-V10)
ESRDC1 = (V5-V4)/I2
ESRDC2 = (V11-V10)/I2
I1 = I2 = 75mA/F
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

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
equation:
time to failure, t Vn * exp (-Q / k*T) …………..(1) where V is the voltage
of operation, Q is the activation energy in electron volts (eV), k is the
Boltzmanns constant in eV and T is the operating temperature in °K
(where K is in degrees Kelvin). 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 original value
and the capacitance drops by 30%. Typically a super-capacitance shows
an initial change in the ESR value and then levels off. If the capacitors
are exposed to excessive temperatures the ESR will show a continuous
degradation. In the extreme case, if the temperatures or voltages are
substantially higher, than the rated voltage, this will lead to cell leakage
or gas leakage and the product will show a faster change in the ESR
which may increase to many times the original value.

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.
