MALVERN, Pa. - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH), a $2.07 billion electronic components manufacturer with annual revenues of $2.93 billion, unveiled a new series of Class 1 radial-leaded high voltage ceramic disc capacitors on Wednesday, targeting industrial and medical applications. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 2.7.
The HVCC Class 1 series capacitors feature a capacitance loss of less than 25% at 15 kV, which the company states is half that of Class 2 devices. They also offer a dissipation factor below 1.0% at 1 kHz, which is 0.5% lower than comparable alternatives.
These components are designed for use in high voltage generators for baggage scanners, medical and industrial X-ray equipment, air purifiers, ionizers, and pulsed lasers.
The capacitors provide capacitance ranging from 100 pF to 1 nF with standard tolerances of ±10%, operating voltages of 15 kVDC, and can function in temperatures from -30°C to +85°C. They feature silver-plated ceramic discs with tinned copper-clad steel connection leads available in 0.65 mm and 0.80 mm diameters.
According to the company’s press release, the RoHS-compliant devices come with straight leads with spacing options of 9.5 mm and 12.5 mm, and include flame-resistant epoxy resin encapsulation that meets UL 94 V-0 standards.
Samples and production quantities are currently available with lead times of 12 weeks. While Vishay faces some profitability challenges, analysts tracked by InvestingPro expect the company to return to profitability this year.
