Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has introduced a new series of surface-mount multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs) for high voltage commercial applications. Offered in seven case sizes ranging from 1206 to 2225, VJ….W1HV High Voltage MLCC Commercial Series devices extend the capacitance values of the company’s existing high voltage MLCCs with the ultra stable C0G (NP0) dielectric, and are also available with the X7R dielectric for even higher capacitance.
These devices are manufactured in a base metal electrode (BME) system with a dry sheet technology
Source: Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. process to reduce costs for a wide range of high voltage applications. The MLCCs will be used as input filtering, output filtering and snubber capacitors for alternative and conventional energy generation, distribution, metering, management and storage; industrial automation, motor drives, power tools and welding equipment; consumer appliances; telecom mobile and fixed infrastructure; and medical instrumentation.
VJ….W1HV High Voltage MLCC Commercial Series devices with the C0G (NP0) dielectric offer high voltages to 3,000 V DC, capacitance values from 1.5 pF to 82 nF, and a temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) of 0 ppm/° C ± 30 ppm/° C from -55° C to +125° C. X7R devices provide capacitance from 100 pF to 100 nF, voltages to 2,000 V DC, and TCC of ± 15 % from -55° C to +125° C.
The MLCCs feature a nickel barrier with 100% tin terminations and are available with polymer terminations for additional protection against board flexure damage. The devices are RoHS-compliant, halogen-free and Vishay Green.
Samples and production quantities of the VJ….W1HV High Voltage MLCC Commercial Series devices are available now, with lead times of 18 weeks.
