III PowerFilm® Series Descriptions

 

 

PowerFilm® ® Wireless Electronics Series

  

Modules in the PowerFilm® Wireless Electronics Series offer a new opportunity to solve the old 
problem of limited power for wireless electronics for portable and remote applications. 
PowerFilm® Wireless Electronics modules are lightweight, paper thin, and durable. Their ultra-
thin profile enables them to be easily integrated with devices for solar recharging or direct 
powering. Modules have been specifically developed to recharge AA, AAA, and 6- and 12-volt 
batteries. These modules do not have a UV-stabilized surface. For connection, just solder or 
crimp to the copper tape. 

 

PowerFilm® RC Aircraft Series 

The PowerFilm® RC Aircraft Series modules are designed to be easily integrated with RC 
Aircraft. These PowerFilm® modules are very lightweight, can be soldered to from the back of the 
module via the extended copper tape, and have an extra edge seal for protection from fuel 
contamination and weather. Modules are available with a strong pressure sensitive adhesive for 
simple bonding. These modules do not have a UV-stabilized surface. For connection, just solder 
to the copper tape. 

 

PowerFilm® WeatherPro™ Series 

The PowerFilm® WeatherPro™ Series is the right choice for permanent outdoor applications that 
are directly exposed to the elements. The especially rugged construction of these PowerFilm® 
modules includes a UV-stabilized surface, extra edge seal for weather protection, and tin-coated 
copper leads that extend from the module. Coating the leads with an RTV silicon compound can 
provide a tightly sealed package.
