Can HVC develop custom specifications not listed in the catalog?

Absolutely — custom development represents approximately 25% of HVC's production volume. If your required specification falls outside standard catalog parameters, HVC engineering team will work with you from concept through production:

Custom Development Capabilities:

* Non-standard voltage ratings: Any value between 500V and 200kV+

* Special capacitance values: Including non-decade values (e.g., 3.33nF, 7.77nF)

* Hybrid tolerance combinations: e.g., ±0.5% C with ±1% V coefficient

* Custom physical dimensions: To fit specific enclosure or PCB constraints

* Special termination options: Unique thread standards, solder-lug combinations, integrated heatsink tabs

* Material modifications: Tailored dielectric formulations for specific environmental conditions

Development Process:

1. Specification review and feasibility assessment (48 hours)

2. Quotation including NRE (Non-Recurring Engineering) fee (1 week)

3. First-article prototype fabrication (4-6 weeks)

4. Full characterization test report delivery (included in NRE)

5. Production ramp-up upon approval (additional 2-4 weeks)

Minimum custom order commitment typically starts at 500 pieces/year for simple variations; complex fully-custom developments may require 2,000+ pieces/year to justify tooling investment.
