Cardinal Components, Inc. and Cymbet Corporation announced that Cardinal is now a global second source supplier for Cymbet EnerChip rechargeable solid state battery packaged products. Produced in the USA, EnerChip smart batteries are synergistic with Cardinal’s recently introduced Real Time Clock products.
“EnerChip batteries will be used in three major application areas,” according to E. Carl Fabend, CEO of Cardinal. “The first is to supply power backup for the Real Time Clock products that Cardinal currently produces as well as other RTC devices in the market. The second is for Cardinal’s expanding line of modules using embedded rechargeable solid state batteries that are RoHS, REACH, and WEEE compliant. The third area is the rapidly expanding Energy Harvesting power market, using ambient energy sources such as light, vibration, motion, thermal gradients, air and fluid flow and RF induction.”
Bill Priesmeyer, CEO, Cymbet, added, “EnerChip rechargeable solid state batteries are ideal solutions for many of Cardinal’s customers in industries including process control, mobile, medical, military, energy metering, security, building controls, telecommunications and wireless sensors.”
Samples of the new EnerChip devices can be obtained by contacting Cardinal or one of its authorised distributors worldwide. Sample quantity pricing is in the $1.00 to $4.30 range (depending on configuration), and 10k piece volume pricing is in the range of $0.70 to $3.00 each (depending on configuration).
