The BestCap capacitor series now includes ultra-low ESR, double-layer devices with an expanded temperature range from -40º to 75ºC. Well suited for wireless applications, the capacitor series features high capacitance values and power pulse characteristics for high-current, short-pulse applications including GSM /GPRS wireless based systems, USB modems, automatic meter reading systems, hand-held scanners, and memory back-up systems.

The BestCap double-layer capacitors are available in three different standard sizes with voltage ratings from 3 V to 15 V and a capacitance range from 6.8 mF to 1 F. The three standard sizes for the BestCap capacitor include BZ05 (20 × 15 mm), BZ01 (28 × 17 mm) and BZ02 (48 × 30 mm). The BZ05 size offers the most aggressive capacitance value offering of 68 mF at 5.5 V and 6.8 mF at 15 V. The BZ02 has the largest capacitance value with 1 F at 5.5 V and 68 mF at 15V.

Typical pricing for the double layer capacitors starts at $2.90 each with delivery from stock to 10 weeks.
