Y5V Dielectric
General Specifications
Y5V formulations are for general-purpose use in a limited
temperature range. They have a wide temperature character-
istic of +22% –82% capacitance change over the operating
temperature range of –30°C to +85°C.
Y5V’s high dielectric constant allows the manufacture of the
highest capacitance value in a given case size.
These characteristics make Y5V ideal for decoupling applica-
tions within limited temperature range.
Capacitance Range 2200 pF to 22 µF
Capacitance Tolerances +80 –20%
Operating Temperature Range –30°C to +85°C
Temperature Characteristic +22% to –82% max. within operating temperature
Voltage Ratings 10, 16, 25 and 50 VDC (+85°C)
Dissipation Factor For 50 volts: 5.0% max.
For 16 and 25 volts: 7% max.
For 10 volts: 10% max.
Insulation Resistance (+25°C, RVDC) 10,000 megohms min. or 1000 M- µF min., whichever is less
Dielectric Strength 250% of rated voltage for 5 seconds at 50 mamp max. current
Test Voltage 1.0 Vrms ± 0.2 Vrms
Test Frequency 1 KHz
