Vishay increases the temperature range of automotive grade MLCC to +200 °C

Recently, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announced that it has increased its operating temperature range of HOTcap K...H series automotive grade radial lead multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCC) to +200 °C, reaching the industry of Class II ceramic through-hole devices. Maximum temperature.

The Vishay BCcomponents lead MLCC is believed to operate for 500 hours at temperatures ranging from -55 ° C to +200 ° C. There is no time limit at +175 ° C. The device has good high temperature performance from 100pF to 1μF and the capacitance tolerance is strictly ±5%.

Class I and Class II ceramic MLCCs use a very stable C0G dielectric with a capacitance variation of ±30 ppm/K and a X0U ​​dielectric with a temperature range of -55 ° C to +175 ° C and a TCC of +22% / -56%. The X0U dielectric also meets the X7R specification. The capacitance change from -55°C to +125°C is ±15%, which is up to the X9V specification. The capacitance change from -55°C to +200°C is +22%/-82%. . For direct soldering to the lead frame, or plastic injection molding, the capacitor uses straight leg leads or bent leads with a pitch of 2.5 mm and 5.0 mm. The lead diameter is 0.5 mm or 0.6 mm and is made of 100% tin-plated copper-clad steel.

Capacitors are lead-free, RoHS compliant, halogen-free, and coatings made of refractory epoxy meet UL 94 V-0.
