Vishay Vitramon
Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors that
Prohibit Surface Arc-over in High Voltage Applications
FEATURES
For this Worldwide Patent-Pending Technology
•
Surface-mountable, multilayer ceramic
capacitors, that protect against surface arc-over
RoHS
•
Higher capacitances and smaller case sizes that
COMPLIANT
save board space, as compared to standard high
voltage MLCCs
•
Voltage breakdowns are twice that of some competitor
products
•
Excellent reliability and high voltage performance
