ATC, the industry leader, offers new improved ESR/ESL perform-
ance for the 100 C Series RF Capacitors. This high Q multilayer
capacitor is ultra-stable under high RF current and voltage appli-
cations. High density Porcelain construction provides a rugged,
hermetic package.
ATC offers an encapsulation option for applications requiring ex-
tended protection against arc-over and corona.
Typical functional applications: Bypass, Coupling, Tuning, Imped-
ance Matching and DC Blocking.
Typical circuit applications: VHF/UHF RF Power Amplifiers, An-
tenna 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.
