The News:
Vishay Intertechnology introduces a new series of surface-mount multilayer ceramic chip capacitors
(MLCCs) optimized for high-voltage industrial and telecom applications. Providing increased
reliability over standard devices, the Vishay Vitramon HV High Voltage Series features a robust serial
electrode design and an extended voltage range up to 5 kV in four standard EIA sizes from 1812 to
2225.
 Higher breakdown voltage increases reliability against voltage spikes
 Serial electrode design reduces the risk of short circuits due to mechanical cracks
 Manufactured in noble metal electrode (NME) technology with a wet build process
