Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.'s VY1 Compact series AC line rated ceramic disc safety capacitors have now passed the "biased 85/85" accelerated life test. Vishay BCcomponents equipment provides extraordinary reliability for X1 (760VAC) and Y1 (500VAC) applications. It is the industry's first to provide high pulse strength up to 10kV, while maintaining 85 hours at rated voltage and 85% relative to rated temperature. Equipment with a humidity of 85%. .
According to IEC 60384-14.4 (International Standard for Capacitors for Electronic Equipment), standard X1 and Y1 grade ceramic safety capacitors are tested at a temperature of 40 ° C and a relative humidity of 93%. While complying with IEC 60384-14.4, the stricter humidity test of this series of equipment makes it have higher reliability and longer service life than standard equipment.
The space-saving capacitors use Y5U ceramic dielectrics with diameters as small as 7.5mm and are optimized for RFI and AC line filtering applications in power supplies, power and smart meters, white goods, industrial equipment and consumer electronics. These devices have a capacitance range of 470pF to 4700pF with a tolerance of ± 20% over a temperature range of -40C to + 125C.
VY1 Compact series capacitors consist of copper-plated ceramic discs and tin-plated copper-clad steel connection leads with a diameter of 0.6mm. The device is available with vertical (series) twisted or straight leads with a pitch of 10mm or 12.5mm. RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green capacitors have a package made of flame-retardant epoxy resin that meets UL 94 V-0.
