TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT Y5R (2C4)

- 30 °C TO + 85 °C

± 15 %

SECTIONAL SPECIFICATIONS

IEC 60384-9, EIA 198

EXAMPLES OF MARKING CODE

FEATURES

• High reliability

• Low losses

• High capacitance in small size

• Kinked leads

• Compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC

APPLICATIONS

In electronic circuits where low losses and high capacitance

per volume are essential, for example:

•SMPS

• HF ballast

• Snubber and high voltage circuits

DESIGN

The capacitors consist of a ceramic disc both sides of which

are silver-plated. Connection leads are made of tinned

copper having a diameter of 0.6 mm or 0.8 mm.

The capacitors are supplied with kinked leads and lead

spacings of 5 mm or 7.5 mm and 10 mm. Encapsulation is

made of epoxy-resin, flammable resistant in accordance with

“UL 94 V-0”

CAPACITANCE RANGE

100 pF to 4700 pF

RATED DC VOLTAGE

500 V; 1 kV; 2 kV; 3 kV

DIELECTRIC STRENGTH

200 % of rated voltage

≥ 10 000 MΩ min.

TOLERANCE ON CAPACITANCE

± 10 %; ± 20 %

DISSIPATION FACTOR

0.2 % max.

AGING

typical 0.5 % per time decade

Note

The capacitors meet the essential requirements of “IEC 60384-9 and EIA 198”. Unless stated otherwise all electrical values apply at an ambient

temperature of 25 °C ± 3 °C, at normal atmospheric conditions
