Ceramic Capacitor 6.8 nF 500 V Y5V THT 9 mm

Ceramic Capacitor 6.8 nF 500 V Y5V THT 9 mm is a through-hole leaded capacitor designed for general-purpose coupling, decoupling and filtering in circuits that require elevated voltage endurance. The capacitor provides a nominal capacitance of 6.8 nF (6800 pF) with a Y5V dielectric, rated to operate at up to 500 V. Its THT format and 9 mm lead spacing make it suitable for PCB through-hole assembly, prototype boards and repair jobs where a compact, robust component is required.

Advantages

The component offers a combination of high working voltage and medium capacitance in a compact through-hole package. Y5V dielectric allows for cost-effective bulk capacitance in small dimensions. The 9 mm lead spacing provides mechanical stability on the PCB and simplifies hand-soldering or wave soldering processes. Long leads and a standardized radial form factor make the part easy to position and replace during service.

Suitable for

• Coupling and decoupling in power supply circuits
• Noise filtering and transient suppression on high-voltage lines
• Through-hole PCB assembly and field repair of power electronics
• Prototyping where a 9 mm lead spacing is required

Key specifications

• Capacitance: 6.8 nF (6800 pF)
• Rated voltage: 500 V DC
• Dielectric material: Y5V
• Package type: Through-hole (leaded), radial
• Lead spacing: 9 mm

How to use

Select the capacitor for applications that match its capacitance range, dielectric characteristics and voltage rating. Place the capacitor into the PCB holes matching the 9 mm lead spacing, ensure correct mechanical seating and solder the leads using appropriate soldering temperature and flux for through-hole components. Trim excess lead length after soldering and verify solder joints for continuity and absence of cold joints. When replacing components during repair, confirm the original part's electrical requirements match the 6.8 nF, 500 V, Y5V specifications.

Usage recommendations

Avoid using this Y5V dielectric capacitor where high capacitance stability over wide temperature ranges or tight tolerance is required; choose temperature-stable dielectrics for precision timing or critical analog circuits. Observe the 500 V rating and provide adequate clearance and creepage distances for high-voltage designs. When operating near the voltage limit, allow derating margin to improve long-term reliability.
