XH414HG-IV01E SEIKO EDLC Supercapacitor: Applications, Selection Guide, Alternatives and Buying Notes

XH414HG-IV01E SEIKO EDLC supercapacitor is a Seiko Instruments XH-HG series coin-type Electric Double Layer Capacitor for compact 3.3V backup rails. It is used where an RTC, memory domain or small retention circuit needs short-duration energy after the main supply is removed. Key verified points include 80 mF / 0.08 F capacitance, 3.3V maximum charging, 4.8 mm diameter and SMD tabs, coin package with wide and corner terminals.

What is XH414HG-IV01E?

XH414HG-IV01E is not a primary coin battery and should not be described as a replaceable battery cell. It is an EDLC backup component: a very small capacitor optimized for board-mounted retention energy. In practical design terms, it sits on a backup node that only powers the circuitry that must remain alive during a short power interruption. That node may include a real-time clock, a few registers, SRAM retention, a counter, a sensor state register or a microcontroller backup domain.

The SEIKO XH-HG family is useful where board area and height are tight but the required backup current is very low. The electrical values tell whether the hold-up calculation works; the suffix tells whether the mechanical land pattern works.

How XH414HG-IV01E is used

Typical backup circuit role

In a typical circuit, XH414HG-IV01E is connected to a stable 3.3V backup rail through a controlled charge path. The main supply charges the EDLC while the equipment is operating. When the main rail falls, a diode, load switch or power-management circuit isolates the rest of the board so only the backup domain is powered. The retained load should be measured in microamps; radios, relays, displays and motors are outside the normal RTC and memory-retention use case.

The charge rail deserves careful review. Seiko data for these XH-HG parts uses a 3.3V maximum charge condition and CC/CV charging with a 500 uA maximum current in the test condition. The datasheet notes also warn against ripple charging and point out that higher charge voltage, temperature and humidity accelerate aging. Use a clean charge source, current limiting and a leakage calculation that includes the EDLC, protection path and backup IC pins.

Pinout and PCB footprint considerations

The XH414HG-IV01E pinout is mostly a terminal and polarity question. Unlike an IC, there is no logic pin map; the critical information is which tab is positive, which pad is negative, where the coin body sits and how the SMD terminal lands survive reflow and mechanical stress. The IV01E suffix identifies a wide-and-corner terminal arrangement, which is mechanically different from II06E even though the base capacitance class is similar.

This matters in purchasing as much as it matters in CAD. A request that says only XH414HG or XH311HG can lead to a part with the right voltage and capacitance but the wrong solder footprint. Freeze the full model number, including IV01E, when the layout is approved.

Key specifications for XH414HG-IV01E

XH414HG-IV01E selection guide

Select XH414HG-IV01E when the design needs low-current backup rails that need the XH414HG 80 mF class and a PCB layout built around the IV01E terminal geometry. The choice is not only about capacitance; it is the combination of EDLC behavior, 3.3V charging, SMD assembly and the specific terminal geometry. the 80 mF XH414HG energy reserve with the IV01E corner terminal layout used by some compact PCB placements can be the deciding point in small meters, portable instruments, wireless modules and compact industrial controllers.

Before selecting the part, calculate retention time from measured load current. Start with the minimum operating voltage of the backup IC, charged EDLC voltage, leakage across the protection path and capacitance derating assumptions. If the hold-up time has no margin, move to a larger capacitance class or another energy-storage approach before PCB release.

Do not select XH414HG-IV01E for boards already routed for II06E terminals, circuits that need a primary coin cell, or applications that cannot tolerate an obsolete-source procurement review. It is also a poor match for long calendar backup, high current pulses or a charging source that cannot be limited to the EDLC rating. For regulated equipment, review lifecycle and compliance documentation before design-in.

Alternatives and cross references for XH414HG-IV01E

XH414HG-IV01E alternatives should be treated as engineering candidates, not automatic replacements. Before approving a replacement, compare the datasheet, terminal polarity, package outline, PCB footprint, rated voltage, capacitance, internal impedance or ESR behavior, leakage, charge profile, reflow limits, temperature range, lifecycle status and compliance records.

Useful comparison targets include XH311HG-IV07E, XH414HG-II06E and other low-profile backup components, but the replacement decision must be based on the released schematic, land pattern and application risk. Do not substitute a different chemistry or suffix without engineering approval.

Buying notes and sourcing checks

Before sending an RFQ for XH414HG-IV01E, confirm the complete manufacturer part number, SEIKO / Seiko Instruments brand wording, XH-HG series, terminal suffix, packaging method, date code expectation, batch consistency, original factory condition, compliance document needs, lead time and approved substitute range. Ask the supplier whether lifecycle information or PCN history affects the purchase decision.

For manufacturing, confirm reflow profile, maximum reflow passes, polarity marking, tape orientation and inspection criteria. For engineering, confirm the 3.3V charge limit, maximum charge current, backup-load current, reverse current path and minimum voltage needed by the retained domain. Review the In-Fortune XH414HG-IV01E product detail page. Request sourcing support for XH414HG-IV01E. Contact In-Fortune to confirm XH414HG-IV01E specifications.

XH414HG-IV01E SEIKO FAQ

Where can I find the XH414HG-IV01E datasheet?

Use the XH-HG or base-family Seiko Instruments datasheet as the first electrical reference, then confirm the exact suffix drawing with the supplier. The suffix is important because terminal geometry affects the PCB footprint.

What is the XH414HG-IV01E pinout?

For this EDLC, pinout mainly means polarity, SMD tab position and the recommended land pattern. The IV01E suffix identifies a wide-and-corner terminal arrangement, which is mechanically different from II06E even though the base capacitance class is similar. Always check the terminal drawing before releasing the PCB.

What applications fit XH414HG-IV01E?

XH414HG-IV01E fits low-current backup domains such as RTC, small memory retention, counters, configuration registers and compact portable or industrial electronics that can charge from a stable 3.3V rail.

Can XH414HG-IV01E replace a rechargeable lithium battery?

Not without review. An EDLC and a rechargeable lithium backup cell use different energy storage behavior, leakage profile, charge requirements, discharge curve and safety documentation.

Can another XH-HG terminal suffix replace XH414HG-IV01E?

Only after the PCB footprint, enclosure keep-out, soldering process and polarity are checked. A suffix change can be mechanically incompatible even when capacitance and voltage look similar.

What should procurement confirm before sourcing XH414HG-IV01E?

Confirm the full part number, SEIKO / Seiko Instruments brand, terminal suffix, packaging method, date code expectation, batch consistency, original condition, compliance documents, lead time and approved substitute range.
