Vishay Intertechnology Expands High Voltage MLCC Offerings with Increased Capacitance for Commercial Applications

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has introduced a new series of surface-mount multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs) designed for high-voltage commercial applications. Available in seven compact case sizes ranging from 1206 to 2225, the VJ….W1HV High Voltage MLCC Commercial Series enhances Vishay’s existing lineup by offering extended capacitance options. These capacitors utilize the ultra-stable C0G (NP0) dielectric and are also available with the X7R dielectric for even greater capacitance levels.

Manufactured using a cost-efficient base metal electrode (BME) system and dry sheet technology, these MLCCs provide an affordable solution for various high-voltage applications. They are ideal for input and output filtering, as well as snubber capacitors in sectors such as renewable and conventional energy systems, power distribution, industrial automation, motor drives, power tools, welding equipment, telecom infrastructure, consumer appliances, and medical instrumentation.

Key specifications include:

  • C0G (NP0) versions: Voltage ratings up to 3000 VDC, capacitance values ranging 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 versions: Capacitance ranging from 100 pF to 100 nF, voltage ratings up to 2000 VDC, and a TCC of ±15% over the same temperature range.

  • Reliable construction: Featuring nickel barrier with 100% tin terminations, these capacitors are also available with polymer terminations to prevent damage from board flexure.

Additionally, the VJ….W1HV series meets environmental standards by being RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green.

Why Engineers Should Consider These MLCCs

  1. Extended Capacitance for High-Voltage Applications

    • Engineers working on power electronics, renewable energy systems, and industrial automation can benefit from the increased capacitance range and high-voltage ratings, making these capacitors suitable for demanding applications.

  2. Reliable Performance in Extreme Conditions

    • The ultra-stable C0G dielectric ensures minimal capacitance drift over a wide temperature range, while the X7R dielectric offers higher capacitance for designs requiring more energy storage.

  3. Cost-Effective Solution

    • With a BME system and dry sheet technology, these capacitors offer an affordable alternative without compromising on quality, making them a practical choice for large-scale production.

  4. Enhanced Durability and Board Protection

    • Engineers designing circuits with potential mechanical stress can opt for polymer terminations, reducing the risk of cracks and failures due to board flexure.

  5. Eco-Friendly and Industry-Compliant

    • Being RoHS-compliant and Vishay Green, these MLCCs align with modern environmental and safety standards, ensuring sustainable product development.

Conclusion

These features make the VJ….W1HV High Voltage MLCC Series a strong candidate for engineers seeking a high-performance, cost-effective, and durable capacitor solution for their next-generation designs. Discover the collection of MLCC capacitors from Vishay Intertechnology.
