500 PGP-ST Screw-Terminal Capacitors Extended With 500 V Rated Voltage and Useful Life to 5000 h
The News:
Vishay Intertechnology announces that it has extended the maximum voltage rating of the Vishay BCcomponents 500 PGP-ST series of aluminum screw-terminal capacitors to 500 V. These products have the same 5000 h lifetime at +85 °C as the other voltage ranges, which were recently upgraded from their previous 2000 h lifetime at +85 °C.
• 500 V rating provides increased voltage headroom
• Optimized for DC-Linking in power conversion electronics rated at 20 kW and above
• Available in seven case sizes ranging from 50 mm by 80 mm to 90 mm by 220 mm
• Feature a cylindrical aluminum case insulated with a blue sleeve and pressure relief in their sealing disc
• RoHS-compliant
• Available with 8 mm terminals on the standard high post M5 disc, or 13 mm terminals featuring the high current low post M6 Disc
The Key Specifications:
| Case size (mm) | 50 x 80 to 90 x 220 |
| Capacitance range (μF) | 680 to 12 000 |
| Tolerance | ± 20 % |
| Rated voltage (V) | 500 |
| Temperature range (°C) | -25 to +85 |
| Useful life at 85 °C (h) | 5000 |
| Shelf life at 0 V, 85 °C (h) | 1000 |
| Sectional specification | IEC 60384-4 / EN 130300 |
| Climatic category IEC 60068 | 25 / 085 / 56 |
Product Benefits:
