Korchip Corporation develops and produces electric double-layer capacitors (EDLS or supercapacitors). The company supplies EDLCs for international and domestic customers including Korean global manufacturers such as Samsung, LG, Hyundai, etc. Korchip possesses all the core EDLC technologies varying from electrodes and electrolytes to various packages.

The company has experienced steady growth in recent years based upon strong technical backgrounds. Strong new demands for EDLCs are rising from various applications including automotive, renewable energy, etc. Korchip has strong marketing channels almost globally, especially in the countries where the manufacturing industry is prospering, such as China, Germany, India, etc. Korchip plans to start special marketing activities for the emerging smart-grid market with its main products.

Features of EDLC, Especially STARCAPKorchip’s Own Supercapacitor

EDLC is the future green-energy storage device, which can hold more than one million times of the capacitance of regular capacitors. EDLC is able to be variously applied.

Less than 1F grade EDLC backs up the data and maintains RTC (Real-Time Clock) built in the circuit as an auxiliary power system when a power supply of the application such as mobile phones, MP3 players, audio and VCR is stopped.

Many 10F~100F and thousands of F- grade EDLC are being used in large hybrid cars, UPS, EMU, copier requiring an instant high power. EDLC is also being gradually expanded to power unit like solar, wind and environmentfriendly renewable energy resources as an essential component.

Korchip produces various types of EDLCs with its registered brand STARCAP including coin type and radial type. The STARCAP EDLC is widely ranging from 0.022F to 1,500F with 2.3V~5.5V of rated voltages. EDLC is a relatively new energy storage device. It has been used as back-up power source for some RTCs, or memory on electronic circuits.

EDLCs can supply big power within a short time and repeatedly. Compared with batt eries, it is environmentally safe and has longer life. With these advantages, EDLCs are being selected as an assistant energy storage device in pitch systems of wind turbines. Electric vehicles, cold cranking power source for trucks or sedans, car DVRs and in many other new applications.

A new STARCAP EDLC product to be used for the electric pen was released. This EDLC is as thin as about 04.0mm. By the slim form factor, capacitor’s resistance is very low and suitable for various applications that are required for high output current.
