What is the typical tolerance of HVC high voltage ceramic capacitors?

HVC Capacitor manufactures high voltage ceramic capacitors across multiple tolerance grades to match application precision requirements, with tighter tolerances available as premium options on N4700 dielectric products:

Tolerance Code

Percentage

Typical Availability

Recommended Application

|---------------|-----------|----------------------|-----------------------|

K	±10%	Standard (most common)	General industrial, PFN, smart grid
J	±5%	Available on request	Precision voltage dividers, resonant circuits
G	±2%	Special order	Medical imaging calibration, test equipment
F	±1%	Limited (custom)	Reference standards, metrology

Industry comparison context:

* Legacy Vishay/Murata/TDK doorknob caps typically ship at ±20% (M code) as standard

* HVC's default ±10% (K code) represents a 2x tighter specification at no additional cost

* This tighter tolerance directly benefits voltage division ratio accuracy in sensor circuits and resonant frequency stability in RF matching networks

For Class 2 dielectric products (Y5T/Y5U/Y5V), tolerance is typically ±20% (M code) or +80/-20% (Z code) due to inherent ferroelectric material characteristics.
