This electronic file introduces the basic principles, characteristics, models and selection methods of gold capacitors, which can provide a reference for circuit designers
This guide introduces Panasonic's Gold Capacitors, a type of electric double‑layer capacitor (EDLC) that uses activated‑carbon electrodes and a non‑water soluble organic electrolyte. It describes the construction, equivalent circuit and electrical characteristics of the devices.
The document also covers product families, selection methods, operating techniques, storage capabilities and a full list of model numbers. Practical applications such as backup power for microprocessors, solar batteries, video recorders and other consumer electronics are highlighted.
