VY1 Compact Series Ceramic Disc Capacitors Now Qualified to Biased 85/85 Accelerated Life Test for Increased Reliability
General Information:
Devices are Industry’s First to Offer High Pulse Strength to 10 kV While Withstanding Temperature of 85 °C and Relative Humidity of 85 % at Rated Voltage for 1000 h
Vishay Intertechnology announces that its VY1 Compact series of AC line rated ceramic disc safety capacitors is now qualified to the “biased 85/85” accelerated life test. Providing extraordinary reliability for Class X1 (760 VAC) and Y1 (500 VAC) applications, the Vishay BCcomponents devices are the industry’s first to offer high pulse strength up to 10 kV while withstanding a temperature of 85 °C and relative humidity of 85 % at rated voltage for 1,000 hours.
• While standard X1- and Y1-rated ceramic safety capacitors are tested at a temperature of 40 °C and relative humidity of 93 % per IEC 60384-14.4, the more stringent humidity testing of the VY1 Compact series devices allows them to provide superior reliability and longer
