Gold Capacitors Technical Guide
Introduction
Electric Double Layer Capacitors were fi rst developed by the Central Research Laboratory of Panasonic in 1972, then
marketed and sold on a worldwide basis in 1978. Because these capacitors function like a battery, they are ideally
suited for applications requiring a secondary power source such as a back-up energy source for microprocessors and
solar batteries.
Compared to other capacitors and batteries, Gold Capacitors are very new. We have summarized the characteristics
and reliability of Gold capacitors in this manual. Panasonic has developed the Gold Capacitor to meet most of you
design needs. We hope you will fi nd this manual informative and useful.
