Vishay Introduced a New Series of AC-Line-Rated Ceramic Disc safetyClass X Capacitors

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new series of AEC-Q200-qualified, AC-line-rated ceramic disc safetyClass X capacitors are used in “across-the-line” applications where their failure would not lead to electric shock. Class X safety caps are used between the “live” wires carrying the incoming AC current. In this position, a capacitor failure should not cause any electrical shock hazards, rather, a capacitor failure “between-the-lines” would usually cause a fuse or circuit breaker to open. capacitors designed to provide high reliability for Class X1 (440 VAC) and Y2 (300 VAC) automotive applications in accordance with IEC 60384-14.3, 3rd edition.

Featuring U2J, Y5S, and Y5U ceramic dielectrics, the AY2 series is optimized for on-board chargers and battery management in electric cars and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), as well as high-reliability industrial applications. The capacitors offer a capacitanceThat property of a system of conductors and dielectrics which permits the storage of electricity when potential difference exists between the conductors. Its value is expressed as the ratio of a quantity of electricity to a potential difference. A capacitance value is always positive. range from 10 pFUnit of capacitance. The basic unit of a measure of a capacitor. A capacitor charged to 1 volt with a charge of 1 coulombA coulomb is the unit of electric charge. It is named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb.1 coulomb is the amount of electric charge transported by a current of 1 ampere in 1 second. It can also be defined in terms of capacitance and voltage, where one coulomb is defined as one farad of capacitance times one volt of electric potential difference. would have a capacitance of 1 farad. 1 microF = .000001 Farads. to 4700 pFUnit of capacitance.

The new Vishay AY2 capacitors achieve an unmatched level of performance: they withstand more than 2,000 temperature cycles without a single failure, twice the AEC standard. With their superior robustness, the capacitors provide the highest levels of quality and reliability. They incorporate the very latest in ceramic material, capacitor design, and production technologies.

The devices released today consist of a silver-plated ceramic disc with tinned copper connection leads offering 0.6 mm diameters. AY2 capacitors are available with straight leads with spacing of 5 mm, 7.5 mm, and 10 mm. RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, the devices’ encapsulation is made of flame-resistant epoxy resin in accordance with UL 94 V-0.

“In industrial electronics, where parts have to operate under extreme conditions, there is an ongoing trend towards higher quality and reliability standards,” said Dr. Michael Lobenhofer, product marketing manager for ceramic capacitorsThe main differences between ceramic dielectricThe insulating material between the plates of the capacitor. The material is chosen for its ability to permit electrostatic attraction and repulsion to take place across it. The material will have the property that energy required to establish an electric field is recoverable in whole or in part, as electric energy. In other words, a good dielectric material is a poor conductor of electricity while being an effective supporter of electrostatic fields. types are the temperature coefficient of capacitanceThat property of a system of conductors and dielectrics which permits the storage of electricity when potential difference exists between the conductors.

To meet the demands of the industrial market, we are releasing this completely new series of leaded Y2-rated ceramic safetyClass X capacitors are used in “across-the-line” applications where their failure would not lead to electric shock. Class X safety caps are used between the “live” wires carrying the incoming AC current. In this position, a capacitor failure should not cause any electrical shock hazards, rather, a capacitor failure “between-the-lines” would usually cause a fuse or circuit breaker to open. capacitors — which is a further development of the company’s well-established VY2 series — that offer unprecedented levels of quality and reliability.”
