Toys

A variety of toys such as model airplanes and “instant” charge cars from Mattel® need electric power to operate. The power options have tended to be physically heavy products with low energy density that are unnecessarily bulky. Manufacturers now want light-weight toys using power components that are smaller and less expensive.

The thin, small size of CAP-XX supercapacitors make them ideal for toys that must be charged instantly and run for several minutes. The supercapacitor has a high energy density (high capacitance) and a rapid charge/discharge cycle to increase run time and performance. CAP-XX products are also very light weight, most weight less than 2 grams, enabling their use in model planes and other airborne toys.
