How Coin and Multilayer Electric Double-layer Capacitors Are Manufactured


A slurry of the coating material is made by mixing activated charcoal, solvents, and other materials.

Aluminum foil is coated with the activated charcoal material to make activated charcoal electrodes.

Aluminum foil is coated with the activated charcoal material to make activated charcoal electrodes.


Leads are attached through either crimping or ultrasonic bonding to form contacts with the cathode and anode foil layers.
Electrolytic paper layers are coiled between the cathode and anode foil layers, separating the conductive layers, during coiling to form the "element."
The element is wetted with an electrolyte using, for example, a lower pressure to drive the fluid into the element.
After wetting, a rubber seal is put on the leads and the element is inserted into the case.
A sleeve printed with the rated voltage, capacitance, characteristics, etc., is heat-shrinked onto the capacitor.
The rated voltage is applied, to age (debug) the components.
100% of the units are subjected to electrical testing and visual inspection, and the infant mortality failures are removed.
