Product details

Capacitance and voltage rating for hold-up and pulse power

The SCMS22C255PRBA0 is a 2.5 F supercapacitor from the KYOCERA AVX SCM series, rated at 5 V. The 0%, +100% tolerance means the actual capacitance can be as high as 5.0 F — design the downstream circuitry to handle the full energy at the upper bound, not just the nominal value. With an ESR of 140 mOhm at 1 kHz, this part delivers moderate charge/discharge efficiency suitable for backup power, peak-power buffering, and short-duration hold-up circuits. The 1000-hour lifetime at 65°C sets the endurance baseline; operating at lower ambient temperatures extends service life.

Through-hole radial can for board-level integration

Through-hole mounting with PC pin termination suits manual assembly or wave-solder processes — the 0.610-inch pitch matches standard prototyping grids. The bulk packaging means each unit is handled individually — not suitable for pick-and-place without manual loading.

Frequently asked questions

What is the capacitance tolerance of this supercapacitor?

The tolerance is 0%, +100%, meaning the actual capacitance can range from 2.5 F up to 5.0 F. Circuit designs must accommodate the full energy at the upper bound for proper hold-up time and inrush current management.

What is the ESR and how does it affect performance?

The ESR is 140 mOhm at 1 kHz. This value governs the charge/discharge efficiency and the ripple current capability. For pulse-power applications, the voltage drop during discharge equals I × ESR — factor this into the minimum load voltage budget.
