AVX Announces New Pulse Supercapacitor.MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 16, 1999-- Cellular and handheld technologies to benefit from new capacitor... AVX AVX Adult Video XXX AVX Avid Visual Extensions AVX anti Virus Expert Corporation (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : AVX), industry leader in capacitor technology and manufacturing announces its new BestCap(TM) (Battery Energy Saving Technology Capacitor) product. These electromechanical The use of electricity to run moving parts. Disk drives, printers and motors are examples. Electromechanical systems must be designed for the eventual deterioration of moving components that wear over time. The first TVs were electromechanical systems (see video/TV history). supercapacitors are based on a unique aqueous chemistry (RHISS - rechargeable hydrogen ion hydrogen ion n. The positively charged ion of hydrogen, H+, formed by removal of the electron from atomic hydrogen and found in all aqueous solutions of acids. Noun 1. solid state). This technology is ideal for high power pulsing and is designed for use in hand-held and mobile communications equipment to extend battery life. RHISS also results in an environmentally friendly non-hazardous material, providing a significant advantage over other lithium or nickel based power sources. "The BestCap is an ideal high performance power source for portable and battery backed equipment," explained Patrick Stromboni, AVX marketing manager. "It can be used as a replacement for aluminum electrolytic e·lec·tro·lyt·ic adj. 1. Of or relating to electrolysis. 2. Produced by electrolysis. 3. Of or relating to electrolytes. e·lec capacitors where they offer over ten times the energy per unit volume. They are also suitable for use in hybrid battery packs to extend battery life." Developed in partnership with ECR ECR Efficient Consumer Response ECR European Congress of Radiology ECR Electron Cyclotron Resonance ECR El Camino Real (Kings Highway; California) ECR Electronic Cash Register ECR East Coast Radio (South Africa) Limited, BestCap provides a superior performance combination of high capacitance and low equivalent series resistance (ESR ESR - Eric S. Raymond ) per unit volume. The polymer electrolyte system is capable of ultra-thin construction down to 0.7mm. Voltages from one to ten volts can be offered. Initial evaluation samples have voltage specifications of 5.5v, capacitance of between sixty and two hundred millifarads and ESR values of forty to one hundred milliohms depending on size. Package options are 27x17x2.5mm, 27x17x4.5mm and 48x30x2.5mm. Pricing on the BestCap will be approximately $4.00 per 100 pieces. The device is currently available for sampling.
