SCP Series
PrizmaCap
AVX's new PrizmaCap capacitors, or SCP Series, are prismatic EDLCs (supercapacitors).
The SCP Series provides the lowest profile & widest operating temperature available in AVX
SuperCapacitors. Used by themselves or in conjunction with primary or secondary batteries,
they provide extended backup time, longer battery life, and provide instantaneous power pulses
as needed. They are best used in applications requiring pulse power handling, energy storage,
energy/power holdup, and battery assist.
FEATURES APPLICATIONS
