Vishay Ceramic Disc Capacitor 10 pF 6 kV C0G/NP0 Radial

The Vishay 564R60GAQ10 is a radial leaded, low-voltage, single-layer ceramic disc capacitor designed for reliable performance in DC and pulse applications. Constructed from a ceramic disc with silver plating on both sides, it ensures excellent electrical conductivity and stability. The tinned copper connection leads, with a standard diameter of 0.032 inch, provide robust solderability and corrosion resistance.

This capacitor is available with radial kinked leads featuring a standard lead spacing of 9.5mm (0.25 inch). It is coated with a protective resin or a flame-retardant epoxy resin compliant with the UL94V-0 standard, enhancing its safety and durability in various environments. Key electrical characteristics include a capacitance of 10 pF with a tolerance of ±20% and a high DC voltage rating of 6 kV.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Stability: Utilising a C0G (NP0) dielectric, this capacitor offers exceptional temperature stability and minimal capacitance drift over a wide operating range from -25°C to +105°C.
• Low Losses: The design ensures very low dissipation factors, making it highly efficient for critical circuits.
• Compact Design: It delivers high capacitance value in a relatively small physical size, saving valuable board space.
• Robust Construction: The combination of a silver-plated ceramic disc and tinned copper leads results in a component built for long-term reliability.

Typical Applications

Ideal for use in demanding electronic circuits where stability and high voltage handling are crucial. Common applications include high-voltage power supplies, lighting ballasts, power management systems, snubber circuits, and pulse-forming networks.
