About Eaton Capacitors
Eaton Corporation is a diversified power management company headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, with operations spanning electrical, aerospace, vehicle, and eMobility sectors. Eaton's capacitor products focus on energy storage and power management — particularly supercapacitors (also called ultracapacitors) and industrial power capacitors.
Eaton's supercapacitor portfolio, acquired through the purchase of Cooper Industries and Bussman, is used in applications requiring rapid energy delivery, peak-shaving, and backup power. Unlike batteries, supercapacitors can charge and discharge in seconds, withstand millions of cycles, and operate across extreme temperature ranges — making them ideal for industrial, transportation, and renewable energy applications.

Eaton Supercapacitors vs. Traditional Capacitors
Supercapacitors bridge the gap between conventional capacitors and batteries. Understanding when to specify an Eaton supercapacitor vs. a traditional electrolytic capacitor is critical for system designers:
- Energy density — Supercapacitors store 10-100x more energy per unit volume than aluminum electrolytic capacitors, but less than lithium-ion batteries.
- Cycle life — Eaton supercapacitors withstand 500,000+ charge/discharge cycles vs. 5,000-10,000 for electrolytic capacitors and 500-2,000 for batteries.
- Charge speed — Supercapacitors charge in seconds, making them ideal for regenerative braking, UPS ride-through, and peak load buffering.
- Temperature range — Eaton supercapacitors operate from -40°C to +65°C, outperforming most batteries in extreme environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of Eaton capacitors do you sell?
We source Eaton supercapacitors (XL60, HV, TV series), power capacitors for industrial applications, and energy storage solutions for UPS, backup power, and renewable energy systems.
Where can I buy Eaton supercapacitors?
You can buy Eaton supercapacitors from Specap through our capacitor catalog or quote workflow. We support in-stock purchasing and assisted sourcing for specific Eaton part numbers.
Does Eaton make capacitors for power factor correction?
Yes. Eaton manufactures power capacitors for industrial power factor correction, harmonic filtering, and power quality improvement. Specap can source these for your facility requirements.
Can you source discontinued Eaton capacitor part numbers?
Yes. We support obsolete and lifecycle-constrained Eaton capacitor sourcing where inventory is available through approved channels, and can provide alternative matching when needed.
