Vishay Intertechnology’s SMD Ceramic Safety Capacitors Named as 2021 Elektra Awards Finalist
November 22 2021 - 6:04PM
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced that its
Vishay BCcomponents SMDY1 series of surface-mount ceramic disc
safety capacitors for EMI filtering has been selected as a finalist
for the 2021 Elektra Awards in the category of “Passive and
Electromechanical Product of the Year.”
Presented by Electronics Weekly magazine, the Elektra Awards
recognize individuals and companies for their excellent
performance, innovation, and contributions to the global
electronics industry, with winners selected in 21 categories by an
independent panel of expert judges. Finalists in the “Passive and
Electromechanical Product of the Year” category were chosen based
on demonstrated technical capabilities that differentiate them from
competing products.
SMDY1 series ceramic disc safety capacitors are the industry’s
first such devices to offer a Y1 rating of 500 VAC and 1500 VDC.
Designed to withstand harsh, high humidity environments, the
components also offer industry-high capacitance to 4.7 nF. The
capacitors are ideal for EMI filtering and suppression in power
supplies, solar inverters, smart meters, and LED drivers. The
closest competing devices only offer capacitance up to 1.5 nF and
Y1 ratings to 300 VAC, with no DC rating. In addition, the SMDY1
series offers higher humidity robustness with a Class IIB humidity
grade (in accordance with IEC60384-14 annex I) and a moisture
sensitivity level of 2a.
Allowing for surface-mount assembly with a reflow soldering
process, SMDY1 series capacitors reduce production costs. Compared
to through-hole devices, they offer a lower profile and eliminate
the need for clearance space on the backside of the PCB.
RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, the components consist of a
copper-plated ceramic disc and feature encapsulation made of
flame-resistant epoxy resin in accordance with UL 94 V-0.
Award winners will be announced at the Elektra Awards Dinner,
taking place in London on Dec. 1 at the Grosvenor House Hotel.
