Capacitance and voltage — sizing the hold-up bank
The SCMR14L334SRBB0 is a 330 mF supercapacitor rated at 9 V, from the KYOCERA AVX SCM series. That capacitance and voltage combination suits it for short-duration backup or pulse-power applications where a battery would be oversized or have cycle-life limits. With an ESR of 500 mOhm at 1 kHz, the internal resistance is low enough that the capacitor can deliver several amperes for tens of milliseconds without dropping the output below the load's minimum operating voltage.
Through-hole radial can — board integration
Packaged in a radial-lead through-hole can with 0.531-inch (13.50 mm) lead spacing, the part stands 0.610 inches (15.50 mm) seated and measures 0.945 x 0.315 inches (24.00 x 8.00 mm). The PC pins terminate into a standard 0.100-inch grid prototype board or a custom PCB footprint. Rated for 1000 hours at 65 °C, with an operating range of -40 °C to 65 °C. The lifetime is specified at the rated temperature and voltage; derating the applied voltage extends usable life in many designs.
