Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors
Prohibit Surface Arc-Over in High-Voltage Applications
FEATURES
For this Worldwide Patented Technology
• Specialty: high-voltage applications
• MLCC that protects against surface arc-over
• Excellent high-voltage performance
• Higher capacitances and smaller case sizes that
save board space, as compared to standard
high-voltage MLCCs
• Voltage breakdowns as much as twice that of competitors’ products
• Available with polymer termination for increase resistance to
board flex cracking. Please contact factory for availability
• Wet build process
• Reliable Noble Metal Electrode (NME) system
• Material categorization: for definitions of compliance
please see www.vishay.com/doc?99912
APPLICATIONS
• Power supplies
•DC/DC converters (buck and boost)
• Voltage multipliers for flyback converters
• For lighting and other AC applications please contact:

STORAGE AND HANDLING CONDITIONS
(1) Store the components at 5 °C to 40 °C ambient temperature and 70 % relative humidity conditions.
(2) The product is recommended to be used within a time-frame of 2 years after shipment.
Check solderability in case extended shelf life beyond the expiry date is needed.
Precautions:
a. Do not store products in an environment containing corrosive elements, especially where chloride gas, sulfide gas, acid, alkali, salt or
the like are present. This may cause corrosion or oxidization of the terminations, which can easily lead to poor soldering.
b. Store products on the shelf and avoid exposure to moisture or dust.
c. Do not expose products to excessive shock, vibration, direct sunlight and so on.
