Vishay / Vitramon HV High Voltage Capacitors

Vishay / Vitramon HV High Voltage Capacitors feature excellent reliability and thermal shock performance. These capacitors are available in an extended voltage range to 5kVDC in four case sizes ranging from 1812 to 2225. The higher breakdown voltage increases reliability against voltage spikes while the serial electrode design reduces the risk of short circuits due to mechanical cracks. Vishay / Vitramon HV High Voltage Capacitors are ideally suited for input and output filtering in power supplies and analog and digital modems, snubbing in power converters, and buffering in voltage multipliers.

Features

  • Excellent reliability and thermal shock performance
  • High voltage breakdown compared to the standard design
  • High reliable serial electrode design
  • Wet-build process
  • Protective surface coating may be required to prevent surface arcing
  • Reliable noble metal electrode (NME) system
  • Lead free and halogen free
  • RoHS compliant

Applications

  • Input filter capacitors
  • Output filter capacitors
  • Snubber capacitors reduce MOSFET voltage spikes
  • Filtering for switching power supplies
