Vishay Class 1 Radial-Leaded High Voltage Single Layer Ceramic Disc Capacitors

For industrial and medical applications, Vishay Intertechnology unveiled a new line of Class 1 radial-leaded high voltage single layer ceramic disc capacitors that provide a low dissipation factor (DF) and DC bias.

Vishay Roederstein HVCC Class 1 series Capacitors Feature: 

• Capacitance loss of < 25 % at 15 kV, which is half that of Class 2 devices.
• Their < 1.0 % DF at 1 kHz is 0.5 % lower.
• The result is reduced power losses and high reliability in high voltage generators for baggage scanners, medical and industrial X-ray applications, air purifiers and ionizers, and pulsed lasers. 

HVCC Class 1 Series Devices Feature:

• A capacitance range from 100 pF to 1 nF.
• With standard tolerances of ± 10 %
• Voltages of 15 kV_DC,
• Operating temperature range from -30 °C to +85 °C. 

A silver-plated ceramic disc with tinned copper-clad steel connection leads that have dimensions of 0.65 mm and 0.80 mm makes up the capacitors.

According to UL 94 V-0, the RoHS-compliant devices have an encapsulation composed of flame-resistant epoxy resin and come with straight leads spaced 9.5 mm and 12.5 mm apart. 

Availability

Samples and production quantities of the HVCC Class 1 series are available now, with lead times of 12 weeks.
