ATC # 001-1124 Rev. E, 5/15
ATC 400 Z Series
Precision Tolerance NPO
RF Microwave Capacitors
ATC’s new 400Z Series Precision Tolerance, Thin Film, NPO RF
Microwave Capacitor is manufactured with the highest quality materials to
provide reliable and repeatable performance. The 400Z is constructed with
a low loss silicon dioxide and silicon oxynitride dielectric along with high
quality sputtered electrode materials to ensure superior performance.
High electrical and thermal conductivity and high stability over temperature
make this device suitable for a variety of critical small and large signal
RF and microwave applications. This Series offers the tightest tolerances
available over a wide range of capacitance values.
The 400Z is built in an 0201 SMT package and is fully compatible with high
speed automated pick-and-place manufacturing. It is designed to meet the
most stringent RF and Microwave requirements.
Typical applications: Filter Networks, Matching Networks, High Q
Frequency Sources, Tuning, Coupling, Bypass and DC Blocking.
