How Super Capacitors Improve System Stability in Smart Meters & IoT Devices

Supercapacitor energy buffer for smart meters and IoT devices - jb Capacitors
Supercapacitors as energy buffers in smart meter / IIoT rails.

Super capacitors reduce voltage dips and prevent resets under transient loads. Pair batteries with low-ESR jb® JGM (5.5/7.5 V) or low-leakage JGY (5/7.5 V) to extend battery life and keep systems stable across wide temperatures. [1][2]

JGM · Low ESR JGY · Low Leakage

How Super Capacitors Bridge the Power Gap

Deliver peak current in milliseconds, recharge in seconds, and stabilize the DC bus to mitigate ripple. [1][4]

JGM / JGY at a glance
SeriesTypeVoltageKey FeatureTypical Application
JGM Low ESR combined type 5.5 V / 7.5 V Low impedance; stable discharge for high-current pulses Smart meters, RF modules, IIoT gateways
JGY Low leakage combined type 5.0 V / 7.5 V Low self-discharge; long cycle life Embedded controllers, sensor nodes, data retention

Performance & Reliability

Low-ESR combined types keep C within ±30% and ESR within 4× even after 1M cycles at 25 °C; jb® JGY 7.5 V shows consistent discharge for buffer roles. [6]

Both series operate from −40 °C to +70 °C with predictable leakage and ESR drift for outdoor metering and industrial control. [2][5]

45 Years of Innovation: The Story of jb Capacitors

 

Why Small-Size Capacitors Make a Big Difference in Today’s PCB Layouts

  As PCBs become more compact and feature-intensive, engineers face a recurring challenge: How do you maintain long-term stability and performance when layout space is extremely limited?

This is where small-size SMD aluminum electrolytic capacitors make a significant difference. Whether you're working on embedded systems, automotive electronics, or industrial controllers, the right capacitor dimensions impact not just your layout—but your entire system reliability.

Why Size Matters – Beyond Just Fitting In

It’s tempting to choose the smallest component just to “make it fit.” But experienced engineers know the real balance involves:

  • Ripple current endurance in high-stress environments
  • Lifespan at 105°C or higher
  • Thermal stability during reflow and continuous operation

These parameters are crucial for SMD aluminum electrolytic capacitors, especially in dense layouts where heat dissipation and ESR performance directly affect product lifespan.

Common Questions Engineers Ask

  • “Can I reduce the size without sacrificing ripple current endurance?”
  • “Will this part maintain specs at 105°C over time?”
  • “Can I trust this capacitor to survive reflow without performance drift?”

These are exactly the types of concerns that jb capacitors’ small-size SMD series is designed to solve.

Introducing the jb Capacitors Small Size Series

Our JCGJCX, and JCY series of SMD aluminum electrolytic capacitors are specifically built for compact, high-density PCB layouts that demand performance and endurance:

  • JCG: Long life up to 7000 hours @ 105°C
  • JCX / JCY: Wide temperature range from -55°C to +105°C
  • JCY: High ripple current handling for stable power delivery
  • ✅ All models support reflow soldering and full SMT compatibility

Ready to Rethink Your Layout Constraints?

Not all small capacitors are created equal. Discover how the JCG / JCX / JCY series unlocks greater freedom in your layout without compromising performance.
