Super Capacitor (item #559)

 

0.85"L X 0.3"D X 0.65"W

Use this Super Cap for many applications such as light flickering from intermittent pickups with our item 378 or 379. Or you can make a battery substitution unit.

item 378: connect the "+" of the Super Cap to the red output wire and the "-" (indicated by the gray, dashed line, on the side of the cap) to the gray output wire.
item 379: solder the "+" and "-" to the printed circuit board in any of the 2 pin postions observing the polarity and orientation shown.



To make a storage capacitor to replace a battery in any 9 volt system, merely connect two Super Capacitors in series as shown. If using a 9 volt battery connector (item 578), the "+" and "-" must be connected opposite of what would be considered normal since this is emulating a battery.


fig 1 - two Super Capacitors used to replace a 9 volt battery in MTH / QSI type older sound units. Before sequencing the engine, a 30 second wait is required to charge the super capacitor's. Tape the electrical connections or totally encase in heat shrink tubing to prevent shorts.

 



fig 2 - Super Capacitor assembly. Slide heat shrink tubing, item 580, over the exposed connections and capacitors. Heat and push over the tubing on top of the capacitors and wait until cool. This makes for an excellent final assembly.

To make a storage capacitor to replace a battery in any 3 volt system, merely connect one Super Capacitor to where the battery is normally connected. If you desire more operating time than what one capactor yields, place a second Super Capacitor in parallel with the first one.
