source: Airbus Defense and Space ; ESA SPCD 2018 Symposium EPCI e-symposium library article Supercapacitor is a product which fills the gap between batteries and capacitors, featuring very high power density (up to 100kW/kg) with lower stored energy than that of batteries (up to 7 Wh/kg). This technology is already widely used in various industrial, automotive and aeronautic applications. Its fast charge and discharge...

source: AS&D, Inc. for NASA GSFC; ESA SPCD 2018 Symposium EPCI e-symposium library article  Contrary to MnO2 tantalum capacitors, transient processes in polymer tantalum capacitors after voltage application might result in anomalously high, ampere-level currents when a capacitor might appear as a short circuit for a time that is much greater than a transient time in MnO2 capacitors. In this work, conditions that cause...

source: Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. ; ESA SPCD 2018 Symposium EPCI e-symposium library article The majority of tantalum capacitors used today are based on a solid electrolyte cathode system, and there have been many advancements in technology to enable smaller sizes, increased capacitance, and lower equivalent series resistance (ESR). Due to the relatively large market size and multiple suppliers, product improvements and new products are...

Title: TAS Roadmap Passive Components Author(s): Myriam Boyer (1), Teva Ihorai (1), Dominique Ducasse (1) Organisation(s): (1) Thales Alenia Space, 26 Avenue Jean François...

source: EGGO Space s.r.o ; ESA SPCD 2018 Symposium EPCI e-symposium library article Advances in MLCC manufacturing have resulted in significant improvements in the voltage and capacitance capability to be packaged into ever-smaller capacitor case sizes. These advances have also positively affected Discoidal capacitors, used in most bulkhead mounted EMI Suppression Filters. Currently, Discoidal capacitors can be manufactured with outer diameters as small as...
