The higher breakdown voltage of the MLCCs released today increases reliability against voltage spikes, while their serial electrode design reduces the risk of short circuits due to mechanical cracks. Manufactured in Noble Metal Electrode (NME) technology with a wet build process, the devices are suitable for input and output filtering in power supplies and analogue and digital modems, snubbing in power converters and buffering in voltage multipliers.
Featuring an X7R dielectric, HV High Voltage Series devices offer a voltage range from 3000 to 5000VDC, capacitance from 180pF to 15nF, a Temperature Coefficient of Capacitance (TCC) of ± 15 % from -55 to +125°C and an aging rate of 1% maximum per decade. RoHS-compliant, halogen-free and Vishay Green, the MLCCs offer 100% matte tin plate terminations.
