RS PRO 1F PCB Mount Supercapacitor 5.5V, NF Series, -20% to +80% Tolerance, 20.5mm x 12.5mm, 184-5456

The RS PRO 184-5456 is an advanced 1F supercapacitor from the proven NF series, engineered for use in electronic equipment requiring rapid energy delivery and extended durability. This device offers a rated voltage of 5.5V DC and employs an electric double layer construction, making it optimal for energy storage, memory backup, and pulse power applications where fast charge/discharge and reliable performance are paramount.

With its horizontal PCB mount package, the supercapacitor is easily integrated into space-constrained circuit boards. Its 1 farad capacitance enables substantial instant current delivery or charge retention for memory circuits, timers, or backup power in devices such as PLCs, meters, and IoT hardware. The tolerance range of -20% to +80% supports flexible circuit design, accommodating real-world variations.

The 184-5456 model has a maximum leakage current of just 20 microamps and offers an extraordinary cycle life of up to 200,000 cycles, ideal for industrial and commercial electronics requiring longevity. It performs reliably over a wide ambient temperature range from -40°C to +70°C, ensuring stable operation in harsh or variable conditions, including process instrumentation and outdoor installations.

Main body dimensions are 20.5mm diameter with a 12.5mm height and a 5mm lead pitch, allowing for compatible placement with a typical PCB drilling grid. The device is polarised for correct voltage orientation and reduces equivalent series resistance (ESR) to 30 ohms, enhancing instantaneous energy delivery for high-load switching events.

The RS PRO 1F supercapacitor complies with ANSI/ESD S20.20:2014 and BS EN 61340-5-1:2007 standards for static discharge control, increasing its suitability for sensitive electronics. Applications include uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), battery-backed solar electronics, quick-charging motor drives, base station circuits, and electronic meters used across industrial, commercial, and renewable energy sectors.

Rated capacitance: 1F, providing outstanding energy storage or surge absorption. 5.5V DC working voltage with horizontal PCB mount configuration. 20.5mm diameter, 12.5mm height, 5mm lead pitch for compact and straightforward installation.

Designed for long service, supporting up to 200,000 duty cycles. Operates stably at temperatures from -40°C to 70°C for broad industrial conditions. Explore more Supercapacitors and passive components in the RS PRO range on EnvMart.
