New high voltage MLCCs deliver extended capacitance for commercial applications

Available With C0G (NP0) and X7R Dielectrics, Devices Feature Voltages to 3000 VDC and Capacitance From 1.5 pF to 100 nF in Seven Case Sizes From 1206 to 2225

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has introduced a new series of surface-mount MLCCs for high-voltage commercial applications. Provided 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. They are also available with the X7R dielectric for even higher capacitance.

The devices are manufactured in a base metal electrode (BME) system using a dry sheet technology process to lower costs for a wide range of high-voltage applications. The MLCCs will be employed 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 supply high voltages to 3000VDC, capacitance values from 1.5pF to 82nF, and a temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) of 0ppm/C ± 30ppm/C from -55C to +125C. X7R devices provide capacitance from 100pF to 100nF, voltages to 2000VDC, and TCC of ±15% from -55C to +125C.

The MLCCs feature a nickel barrier with 100% tin terminations and are obtainable with polymer terminations for added protection against board flexure damage. The devices are RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green.
