The **10VS-620-R** is a specific part number often associated with **high-voltage, high-reliability ceramic capacitors**, typically manufactured by companies like **Vishay** or specialized military/aerospace suppliers. Below is a breakdown of its technical characteristics and common specifications. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a standard coding convention for ceramic disc capacitors. | Feature | Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Single-layer Ceramic Disc Capacitor | | **Capacitance Value** | 62 pF (indicated by the "620" code) | | **Voltage Rating** | 10 kV (indicated by the "10V" prefix) | | **Tolerance** | Typically ±5% or ±10% (Common for "S" or "R" suffixes) | | **Mounting Type** | Through-hole (Radial Leads) | | **Coating** | Flame-retardant epoxy or phenolic resin | ### 2. Part Number Breakdown The alphanumeric string can be decoded as follows: * **10V**: Represents the rated working voltage. In this context, it stands for **10,000 Volts (10 kV)**. * **S**: Often refers to the temperature coefficient or dielectric class (e.g., NPO/C0G or SL class). * **620**: The capacitance code. The first two digits (62) are the value, and the third (0) is the multiplier ($10^0$). Result: **62 pF**. * **R**: Generally indicates compliance with **RoHS** (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) standards. --- ### 3. Key Applications Due to the extremely high voltage rating (10,000V), these parts are not found in standard consumer electronics. They are used in: 1. **High Voltage Power Supplies**: Filtering and decoupling in industrial power systems. 2. **X-Ray Machines**: Handling the high-tension pulses required for medical imaging. 3. **Laser Systems**: Storage and discharge circuits for gas or solid-state lasers. 4. **CRT Displays**: Specifically in the "Anode" or "Flyback" sections of older monitors and televisions. 5. **Electrostatic Precipitators**: Used in air filtration and pollution control. ### 4. Handling Precautions When working with the 10VS-620-R or similar high-voltage components, safety is paramount: * **Discharge**: Always ensure the capacitor is fully discharged before handling; 10kV can be lethal even at low capacitance. * **Creepage/Clearance**: When designing a PCB for this part, ensure there is enough physical distance between traces to prevent "arcing" (electricity jumping through the air). ---
