Product Overview and Selection Scope
NB5R5C334N-HT is a 5.5 V rated, 6.0 V surge, 0.33 F high-temperature C-type coin supercapacitor with same-side solder tabs. Its compact package is intended for RTC backup and low-power hold-up where operation from −40 °C to +85 °C is required.
This device is polarized and its terminal voltage falls during discharge. Verify the ESR step, capacitance tolerance, load profile, leakage, charging current and minimum system voltage in the complete circuit.

Capacitance and ESR Test Methods
For capacitance measurement, charge the device to rated voltage for 30 minutes and discharge it at the prescribed constant current. ESR is measured using the specified 1 kHz AC method.
Hold-Up, Leakage and Energy Calculations
Estimate the usable interval from the allowable voltage window and load current, then subtract the immediate ESR voltage step. For leakage-current verification, apply the 5.5 V rated operating voltage and measure the current after the source-specified 24-hour charging period.
PCB Mounting, Soldering and Handling
Assembly and environmental conditions directly affect reliability. Apply the following source-specification precautions during layout and process qualification.
If devices are connected in series, implement voltage balancing and obtain NYFEA application guidance. Also validate hole size, lead pitch, cleaning chemistry, polarity inspection and mechanical support before release.
Application Guidance and Design Limitations
The applications below are engineering use cases consistent with a compact 5.5 V rated, 0.33 F high-temperature backup component. They are not end-product certification claims.
RTC BackupMaintain timekeeping through a brief loss of the main supply.
Memory RetentionSupport low-power state preservation and orderly data save.
Smart Meter Data SaveProvide a short window for nonvolatile recording after mains loss.
Industrial Control NodesSupport low-power backup across the source-specified temperature range.
Wireless Sensor BackupMaintain low-power state between supply events after circuit validation.The source specification does not claim automotive, medical, functional-safety, life-support or fault-tolerant qualification. Confirm all mandatory standards for the end product.
NB5R5C334N-HT Engineering FAQs
What are the rated voltage and nominal capacitance?
The rated operating voltage is 5.5 V, the surge voltage is 6.0 V, and the nominal capacitance is 0.33 F.
What capacitance tolerance is specified?
The supplied specification states −20% to +80%, corresponding to an initial range of 0.8 F to 1.8 F before additional temperature and ageing allowances.
What is the maximum ESR?
The maximum ESR is 40 Ω at 1 kHz and 10 mA at room temperature.
What is the operating temperature range?
The specified operating range is −40 °C to +85 °C.
What are the package dimensions and lead pitch?
The body is Ø13.3 ±0.3 × 8.5 ±0.2 mm, with 5.0 ±0.5 mm terminal spacing and flat C-type tabs.
Is the component polarized?
Yes. Match the negative marking to the PCB polarity before soldering.
Can it be used as a direct battery replacement?
No. A supercapacitor has continuous voltage decay and an ESR-related voltage step. Validate the load current, minimum system voltage, usable energy and required hold-up time.
What is the difference between rated and surge voltage?
Use 5.5 V as the continuous rated operating voltage. The 6.0 V value is the source-specified surge voltage, not the continuous rating.
Which document controls production decisions?
The supplied NB5R5C334N-HT PDF and the current NYFEA-controlled revision remain the design authority.
This page summarizes the supplied NB5R5C334N-HT product specification for component evaluation. Confirm the current revision, dimensions, polarity, rated-versus-surge voltage, test conditions, assembly process and qualification requirements before production release.
