VISHAY VJ HVArc Guard C0G (NP0) Manual
The VJ HVArc Guard C0G (NPO) is a surface‑mount multilayer ceramic capacitor designed to prevent surface arc‑over in high‑voltage applications. It offers higher capacitance in smaller case sizes and twice the voltage breakdown of comparable parts, with optional polymer termination for flex‑crack resistance.
The document lists electrical specifications, typical parameters, ordering codes, packaging quantities, and legal disclaimer information, helping designers select the correct part and understand its performance limits.
