Ultracapacitor Modules Spec’d to 85 Degrees C

Richardson Electronics, Ltd.announced today the availability of the complete family of iMOD X-Series™ modules for ultracapacitor applications from Ioxus. The iMOD X-Series modules have a wide voltage range, can deliver and absorb a high current, operate from -40 to +85 degrees C and have a long life cycle. They are designed to hold multiple, individually balanced TitanHT™ cells to attain any voltage and capacitance requirement in the most efficient way possible.

The 22 high performance modules range from 16V to 128V and can be connected in series up to 2000V with no additional balancing required. They may also be connected in parallel to satisfy higher energy requirements. The flexibility of Ioxus X-Series modules allow for hundreds of thousands of charge/discharge cycles with minimum changes in performance over the life cycle of the products.

The iMOD X-Series can be used to satisfy demands in a variety of industries and applications, including hybrid and PHEV buses, wind turbine pitch control, micro-grid, excavators, cranes, vehicle starting systems, automotive subsystems, backup power/UPS, ride-through power conditioning, robotics and renewable energy systems.

Additional key features of the Ioxus iMOD X-Series modules include: 22 base modules ranging in voltage from 16V to 128V; Most rugged construction: IP67 / IEC61373 (Rail); Configure in series to 2000V / Hi-Pot tested to 5000V; UL810A / ISO16750 / SAE J2380 / IEC 60068, 60529, 61373; Easily mounted in standard industrial enclosures using COTS parts; Oversized forward facing power terminals; and Optional digital, analog or CAN Bus communications and monitoring.

“These iMOD X-Series modules are game changers in terms of simplifying system design and installation for the end user,” said Chris Marshall, Chief Technology Officer of Richardson Electronics’ Power & Microwave Technologies group. “By offering customers this level of flexibility, performance and durability, with a nearly-infinite array of possible mounting configurations, Ioxus is proving again why it is a leader in ultracapacitor technology.”
