# TPLH_3p0V_350F_Supercapacitor

The Tecate TPLH 3.0V 350F is a high-performance ultracapacitor (also known as a supercapacitor or EDLC) designed for applications requiring high energy density and powerful burst capabilities. With a substantial capacitance of 350 Farads and a 3.0-volt rating, it bridges the gap between traditional capacitors and batteries. Its key features are an extremely low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR), allowing it to deliver and absorb high currents very quickly, and an exceptionally long service life of up to 10 years and 500,000 charge cycles with minimal degradation. This makes it ideal for industrial automation, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), robotics, and medical devices, where it can provide critical backup power during outages or relieve batteries from peak power demands, thereby extending their life and reducing overall system size.

## NSF Relevance

This high-capacity ultracapacitor directly enables a new class of powerful, autonomous, and long-duration instrumentation. Scientific experiments, particularly in fields like robotics, environmental monitoring, or pulsed-energy physics, often have contradictory power demands: they require a stable energy source for long-term operation but also need massive, instantaneous bursts of current for tasks like powering a laser, a high-torque motor, or a data transmitter. This component's 350-Farad capacity and 10-year service life solve the long-term reliability problem. Its key feature, an extremely low ESR, simultaneously provides the high-current pulse capability. This allows researchers to design compact, resilient systems—like deep-sea probes or remote field sensors—that can sip harvested energy for months and then reliably deliver the powerful surges needed to perform active experiments, rather than just passive observation.
