800C Series NPO Ceramic High RF Power Multilayer Capacitors (MLCs)


ATC 800C Series Multilayer Capacitors

ATC’s 800C Series offers superb performance in demanding high RF power applications requiring consistent and reliable operation. The combination of highly conductive metal electrode systems, optimized case geometries, and proprietary dielectrics, yields the lowest ESR. ATC’s new NPO low loss rugged dielectrics are de-signed to provide superior heat transfer in high RF power appli-cations. Ultra-low ESR and superior thermal performance ensure that the 800C Series products are your best choice for high RF power applications from VHF through microwave frequencies.
