Vishay High Voltage Ceramic Capacitors

Tech Specs Video

This episode of Tech Specs is part of a video series highlighting the features, applications, and technical specs of newly-released products.

Vishay 715C-KT capacitors have a class 1 strontium-based ceramic dielectric that provides a low dissipation factor and has a negligible piezoelectric or electrostrictive effect, with capacitance values from 100 picofarads to 8 nanofarads and ratings up to 50,000 VDC.

The 715C-DK uses a class 2 ceramic dielectric and offers capacitance values up to 20 nanofarads at voltage ratings up to 40,000 VDC. Vishay 715C series capacitors use a moulded epoxy case with silver-plated brass screw terminals for mounting, with options for standard and metric threads.
