New Yorker Electronics has released the new Vishay Vitramon series of surface-mount multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs) with a lead-bearing termination finish suitable for aerospace applications requiring tin whisker mitigation. Prior to this release, the option for Pb-bearing termination finishes was reserved for more expensive high reliability devices.
The Vishay VJ-32 lead-bearing finish series, available in 16 V to 630 V, provides designers with a cost-effective alternative for aerospace systems in which tin whiskers must be avoided but space-level reliability is not required.
Qualified according to AEC-Q200 to provide designers with automotive grade reliability, the new Vishay

The device is available in CGO (NPO) and X7R dielectric options. The COG (NPO) offers a capacitance range of 1 pF to 15 nF and a voltage range of 25 V DC to 630 V DC. Its dissipation factor is 0.1% maximum at 1.0 VRMS and 1 MHz for values greater than or equal to 1,000 pF and an aging rate of 0% maximum per decade. It has a temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) of 0ppm/° C ± 30ppm/° C from -55° C to 125° C.
The X7R dielectric has a capacitance range of 120 pF to 1 μF, and a voltage range of 16 V DC to 630 V DC. Its dissipation factor at 16 V at 25 V ratings is 3.5% maximum at 1.0 VRMS and 1 kHz and greater than 25 V ratings are 2.5% maximum at 1.0 VRMS and 1 kHz.
