EPSL Series Ceramic Capacitors

500 pF to 4,000 pF; 20 kV to 52 kV The EPSP Series of pulse power ceramic capacitors are optimized for sourcing and sinking short-duration high-current pulses. They are ideal components for use in pulsed gas laser systems, HVDC power supplies, lightning arrestor systems, electrostatic copying machines and electron microscopes. They utilize an N5500 temperature characteristic Class 1 dielectric to achieve a very low dissipation factor coupled with a very high capacitance-per-volume and an absence of etectable piezoelectric or electrorestrictive effects. Epoxy encapsulation provides excellent insulation resistance and a physically robust package. Specification Temperature Range Operating: -30 °C to +50 °C                                     Storage:    -30 °C to +50 °C Capacitance Tolerance ± 20 % standard; other tolerances available Dissipation Factor 0.5 % Maximum when measured at a frequency of 1 kHz Dielectric Characteristic Class I N5500 (± 1000 ppm/ °C) over the Operating Temperature range Dielectric Strength Will withstand a DC potential of VTEST (listed above) for 10 Seconds at 25 °C Insulation Resistance 20,000 Megohms (MΩ) Minimum at 100 VDC Terminal Strength Maximum applied torque to be 20 inch-pounds or less Humidity Protection Epoxy encapsulated Standard Markings “HEC”, Capacitance, Tolerance, Rated Working Voltage (VDC), TC and Date Code

50 pF to 1,500 pF; VMAX 25 kV; SMAX 50 kVA HT Series Ceramic Capacitors are small, RF-capable, Class 1 parts featuring high Voltage, Current and Power ratings. They exhibit a low dissipation factor and minimum self-inductance. These extremely rugged capacitors are carefully designed to live in the demanding world of broadcast and high-voltage industrial application. Their structure is both simple and robust, assuring a long trouble free life. HT Series parts feature a nonconductive, humidity-resistant, coating and a long flashover path. They are built upon a choice ofsix Class I dielectrics, providing a broad range of capacitance and temperature coefficients. Typical applications include transmitters, antennas, induction heating, X-ray, diathermy and welding. Specification Temperature Range Operating: -55 °C to +85 °C                         Storage:                -55 °C to +125 °C Capacitance Tolerance From ± 2.5 % to ± 20 % and from ±2.5 pF to ±1 pF Dissipation Factor 0.1 % to 0.5  % Maximum (see Dielectric chart above) Dielectric Strength Will withstand an AC potential of 1.5 times Rated Working Voltage for 10 Seconds at 25 °C. Insulation Resistance 10,000 Megohms (MΩ) Minimum Terminals Silver Plated Terminal Strength Maximum applied torque to be 20 inch-pounds or less (HT57 & HT59 series), 6 inch-pounds or less (HT50 & HT58 series with standard terminal), 17 inch-pounds or less (HT 50 & HT58 series with solid terminal) Humidity Protection Nonconductive Coating Standard Markings “HEC”, Capacitance, Tolerance, Rated Working Voltage (VDC), TC and Date Code
