Author: Rutronik Electronics staff As supercapacitors, or electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), become more and more widely used, they are increasingly looked at as replacements for batteries. However, in many cases a 1:1 exchange is impractical or even impossible. Nevertheless, supercaps have their place. Batteries and supercaps are based on completely different energy storage methods. Looking […]

When to use supercapacitors
How the 48-V electrical system could
change vehicle system design
The shift to 48-V electrical systems in vehicles could mean big changes for electronic components. Andreas Mangler, RUTRONIK Elektronische Bauelemente GmbH Ever-stricter limits for CO2 emissions have made one thing clear: The current CO2 limits are practically unattainable with internal combustion engines. Many countries will further tighten their requirements in the coming years: Europe will […]
