MLC Surface Mount Capacitors
For 600V to 7200V Applications
PRODUCT OFFERING
Hi-Q®, high RF power, surface mount MLC capacitors from AVX
Corporation are characterized with ultra-low ESR and dissipation factor
at high frequencies. They are designed to handle high power and
high voltage levels for applications in RF power amplifiers, inductive
heating, high magnetic field environments (MRI coils), medical and
industrial electronics.
