AY1 series of high-reliability safety capacitors specified to meet AEC-Q200 for Class Y1 AC-line filtering and electric vehicle applications
LONDON, UK, 11 April 2019 – RS Components (RS), the trading brand of
Electrocomponents plc (LSE: ECM), a global multi-channel provider of
industrial and electronic products and solutions, is now stocking a new
range of automotive-grade AC-line-rated ceramic disc capacitors,
manufactured by Vishay.
The high-reliability radial-mounting AY1 series is qualified to
AEC-Q200, meeting the stringent demands for use in automotive. The
series has been tested to withstand the rigours of the 85 / 85 / 1000 h
test (85 °C / 85 % relative humidity for 1000 hours), as well as passing
1000 temperature cycles from –55 to +125 °C. In addition, the series
also passes the high-voltage 10 kV pulse test (10 per polarity).
The devices also meet IEC60384-14.4, which provides specifications
for fixed capacitors for EMI and RFI generation and suppression, as well
as for mains supply connection. The series is therefore ideally suited
for deployment as Class Y1 safety capacitors in industrial and
automotive environments, for example in AC-line filtering and
primary-secondary coupling on battery chargers for various types of
electric vehicles including HEV/PHEVs (hybrid/plug-in hybrid electric
vehicles), or as filter capacitors on DC/DC converters in PHEVs.
Key electrical characteristics include a capacitance range from 470
up to 4700pF with a tolerance of 20% and voltage ratings up to Class X1
(760 VAC) / Y1 (500 VAC) and 1500 VDC. The capacitor’s ceramic disc is
copper plated on both sides and features tin-plated copper-clad-steel
connection leads with diameters of 0.6 or 0.8 mm. Available with
straight leads with spacings of 10.0 or 12.5 mm, the devices are
encapsulated in flame-retardant epoxy resin, in accordance with UL94V0.
The high-reliability automotive-grade AY1 series from Vishay is in stock now at RS in the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions. ( https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/passive-components/capacitors/ceramic-single-layer-capacitors/?applied-dimensions=4291902205,4291382706 )
