SAN DIEGO, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Tecate Group is pleased to announce the expansion of its TPLC™ series of hybrid lithium-ion capacitors (LICs). The PBLC™ series features the quick-connect Molex 87439-0200, which eliminates the process of soldering the leads on the printed circuit board (PCB) and provides for safe handling of the charged cell for off-board integration. The PBLC™ series builds on the previously released TPLC™ series, which has provided a valuable alternative energy solution for higher-voltage and increased-energy applications. The PBLC™ series incorporates the key benefits of batteries (increased voltage and energy density) while maintaining the traditional characteristics of ultracapacitors (rapid charge/discharge, environmental friendliness, longevity, and safety). The PBLC™ series features quick-connect termination, a mechanically robust cylindrical footprint with a compact profile, an increased maximum rated voltage of 3.8V—close to one and a half times higher than the 2.7V of conventional ultracapacitors—and an energy density four to ten times greater than current comparably sized ultracapacitor-based technology.

These energy-dense cells can be used as stand-alone power sources or as load-leveling devices to increase the life of an existing primary energy source. The PBLC™ cells are ideally designed for use as a storage-power or short-term backup-power source for consumer devices, handheld scanners, data centers, military applications, metering, measuring equipment, portable machine tools, and other applications requiring more energy at higher voltage in a compact size. The PBLC™ cells are UL-recognized and RoHS- and REACH-compliant, with operating temperatures from -15ºC to +70ºC at 3.8V and extended operating temperatures of 15ºC to +85ºC at 3.5V while still providing a 500,000 rapid charge/discharge cycle life.

Tecate Group's PBLC™ and TPLC™ hybrid LIC series form the most extensive product portfolio in the market, with eighteen capacitance values in each series, ranging from 10F to 450F, multiple industry-standard case sizes, and custom cell sizes available on request.
