Key Features

  • 1.5 F capacitance at 5.4 V rated voltage delivers substantial energy storage of up to 21.87 mJ for backup power and pulse current applications
  • 160 mΩ equivalent series resistance (ESR) enables high pulse current delivery with minimal voltage droop during load transients
  • Through-hole radial mounting provides mechanically robust PCB attachment suitable for environments subject to vibration and thermal cycling

Applications

The PHV-5R4V155-R supercapacitor is well suited for memory backup, real-time clock (RTC) power hold-up, and peak-load buffering in industrial electronics, smart meters, and IoT devices where battery replacement is impractical. Its 1.5 F capacitance at 5.4 V supports short-term ride-through during power interruptions, maintaining system state for several seconds depending on load current. The low 160 mΩ ESR also makes it effective as a pulse power source for wireless transmitters and motor startup circuits requiring brief high-current bursts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What energy can the PHV-5R4V155-R store, and how long can it hold up a 10 mA load?

The PHV-5R4V155-R stores approximately 21.87 mJ of energy calculated as 0.5 × 1.5 F × (5.4 V)². At a constant 10 mA discharge from 5.4 V down to 3.0 V, it can supply approximately 360 ms of hold-up time, making it suitable for RTC backup, SRAM retention, and graceful shutdown sequences in industrial controllers and smart meters.

How does the 160 mΩ ESR of PHV-5R4V155-R affect pulse power delivery compared to standard electrolytic capacitors?

With only 160 mΩ equivalent series resistance, the PHV-5R4V155-R delivers pulse currents far more efficiently than typical aluminum electrolytic capacitors, which can have ESR values of 1 Ω or higher at low frequencies. At a 5.4 V charge level, the 160 mΩ ESR limits peak voltage drop to approximately 160 mV at 1 A pulse current, enabling reliable burst transmission for wireless IoT sensors and GPRS modems that demand 1 A to 2 A transient current within milliseconds.

What tolerance and operating temperature range should designers expect from the PHV-5R4V155-R supercapacitor?

The PHV-5R4V155-R capacitance tolerance is -10% to +30% around the nominal 1.5 F value, meaning actual capacitance may range from 1.35 F to 1.95 F. Supercapacitors in the Cooper Bussmann PHV series are typically rated for operating temperatures from -40°C to +65°C, with capacitance decreasing at lower temperatures. Designers should account for the +30% tolerance when sizing the minimum required energy storage to ensure adequate backup hold-up time across the full production spread.
