super capacitors

[steve longman]

I need a couple of low-cost types to experiment with - around 1F to 2F.
Anyone know of a UK source? so far all I've seen is reference to nuinTec a
Korean (?) company which doesn't seem to have a UK outlet. BTW I'm speaking
of the small, lightweight types used, for example, in RC model aircraft,
etc. Can anyone help, please?

I must be missing out somewhere. Searched Farnell earlier today and couldn't
find the caps. No luck either when I put your code info into the search
fields. I also looked through the capacitor section of their online cata
and I couldn't see them there. So where am I going wrong?

Hi,

Farnell sell some high capacity capacitors. They are called UltraCap and
they come in the following sizes 8F, 100F and a massive 2700F. They are low
voltage low 2.3VDC. If you goto www.farnell.co.uk and search for the
following order codes you can see the details:

321-5039
321-5040
321-5052

Hope that helps,

Very helpful. Thanks. I note they are still out of stock of the 10F type.
This is the one I'll have to order as the 1F onehas very limited discharge
current. Thanks again.

RS Electronics have some 10F capacitors in stock. The web address is
http://rswww.com (a strange web address). Do a quick search for 377423 and
you should find them. They should have other high capacitance capacitors as
well.
