Ceramic disc capacitors

Vishay Intertechnology has extended its range of ceramic disc capacitors with two series of components designed for RFI/EMI suppression. Both series comply with EN132400/IEC 60384-14 2nd edition, ENEC-VDE, UL1414 and CSA requirements. The VY1 and VY2 capacitors can be used in both line bypass and across-the-line configurations, to suppress both common-mode and differential-mod interference.

The VY1 series is rated for use in the IEC60384-14.2 X1 mode at 760 VAC and in Y1 mode at 500 VAC (both at 50 Hz). This series is available in values from 10 pF to 4.7 nF.

With a peak voltage withstand of 8 kV, the capacitors are suitable for continuous use.

The VY2 series is rated for use in X1 mode at 440 VAC and in Y2 mode at 300 VAC (both at 50 Hz). The available values range from 10 pF to 10 nF. The capacitors are designed for intermittent use where the expected peak voltage is 5 kV or less.

The VY1 and VY2 ranges are WEEE/RoHS compliant according to EU directive 2002/95/EC.
