Core Insights - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has launched a new series of Class 1 radial-leaded high voltage single layer ceramic disc capacitors designed for industrial and medical applications, which feature low power losses and high reliability [1][2]. Product Features - The HVCC Class 1 series capacitors exhibit a capacitance loss of less than 25% at 15 kV, which is significantly lower than Class 2 devices, and have a dissipation factor (DF) of less than 1.0% at 1 kHz, which is 0.5% lower than competitors [2]. - Capacitance range for these devices is from 100 pF to 1 nF with standard tolerances of ±10%, and they can operate at voltages of 15 kVDC within a temperature range of -30 °C to +85 °C [3]. - The capacitors are constructed with a silver-plated ceramic disc and tinned copper-clad steel connection leads, available in diameters of 0.65 mm and 0.80 mm, and comply with RoHS standards [3]. Availability - Samples and production quantities of the HVCC Class 1 series are currently available, with lead times of 12 weeks for orders [4]. Company Overview - Vishay Intertechnology is recognized as one of the largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components, serving various markets including automotive, industrial, computing, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, and medical [5].
