FAQs

Q: What does Z5U temperature coefficient signify?
A: Z5U indicates a ±22% capacitance variation from -10°C to +85°C and +56%/-82% from -25°C to +105°C, suitable for general-purpose use where extreme precision isn’t critical.

Q: Is this capacitor suitable for AC voltage applications?
A: Yes, its 2000V DC rating typically supports lower AC voltages (consult datasheet for specific AC derating guidelines).

Q: Can I use this in high-humidity environments?
A: While not hermetically sealed, the ceramic construction resists moderate moisture. For extreme conditions, consider conformal coating.

Q: What’s the difference between radial and axial capacitors?
A: Radial capacitors have parallel leads emerging from one side (ideal for vertical PCB mounting), while axial leads extend from opposite ends for horizontal mounting.

Q: Does PCX provide datasheets?
A: Yes! Access the full datasheet here: Vishay 564R20GAD68 Datasheet

Q: Are these RoHS compliant?
A: This active-status Vishay component complies with RoHS 3 directives.
