ATC, the industry leader, offers new improved ESR/ESL performance
for the 700 C Series RF Capacitors. This high Q multilayer capacitor
is ultra-stable under high RF current and voltage applications. High
density porcelain construction provides a rugged, hermetic package.
ATC offers an encapsulation option for applications requiring extend-
ed protection against arc-over and corona.
Typical functional applications: Bypass, Coupling, Tuning, Impedance
Matching and DC Blocking.
Typical circuit applications: VHF/UHF RF Power Amplifiers, Antenna
Tuning, Plasma Chambers and Medical (MRI coils).
*For leaded styles only.

ATC accepts orders for our parts using designations
with
or
without
the
“ATC” prefix. Both methods of defining the part number are equivalent, i.e.,
part numbers referenced with the “ATC” prefix are interchangeable to parts
referenced without the “ATC” prefix. Customers are free to use either in
specifying or procuring parts from American Technical Ceramics.
