TAIYO YUDEN Creates Industry Leading 105°C Capable Lithium Ion Capacitor

Technology Background
Servers and drive recorders require an emergency power supply as backup for data protection in the event of an emergency such as a power failure or accident. On the other hand, smart meters, which require a large amount of energy within a short period of time for wireless data   transmission, are equipped with a power storage device for peak assistance as a measure to supplement their power supply. Although these devices are used in high-temperature environments due to heat generation as a result of performance improvement and high-density packaging or outdoor use, the characteristics of electronics parts including lithium ion capacitors generally degrade in high-temperature environments. To address this situation, TAIYO YUDEN sophisticated the materials technologies for cylinder-type lithium ion capacitor LITHOSION™ products to launch LIC1840RH3R8107, which has an improved operating temperature range upper limit of +105°C. The product has reduced degradation characteristics compared to our conventional products, contributing to expanding the life of devices used in high-temperature environments.

We will continue to develop energy device products in response to market demand.
