Safety capacitors save space in industrial product designs
The VY1 Compact series of safety capacitors from Vishay provide robust performance in circuits exposed to high transient voltages, and withstand harsh environmental operating conditions.
The VY1 Compact series from Vishay are space-saving X1/Y1 760 V/500 V ac-rated ceramic disc safety capacitors.
These capacitors comply with the requirements of the IEC 60384-14 4th edition standard. The capacitors can pass a minimum of ten 10 kV positive and ten 10 kV negative pulses. They are intended for use in across-the-line, line bypass and antenna coupling applications.
The VY1 Compact series safety capacitors are available in nine versions with capacitance values ranging from 470 pF to 4,700 pF. Body diameter ranges from 7.5 mm for 470 pF and 680 pF capacitance, up to 15.5 mm for 4,700 pF capacitance.
The capacitor consists of a ceramic disc which is copper-plated on both sides. Connection leads are made of tinned copper-clad steel with a diameter of 0.6 mm.
