ATC 180 R Series
NPO Porcelain
Ultra-Low ESR
Multilayer Capacitors
• Case R Size • Capacitance Range
(.070" x .105") 0.5 pF to 100 pF
• High Q • High Self-Resonance
• ATC's Lowest ESR • 500 WVDC
• ATC's Lowest Noise • High Reliability
ATC, the industry leader, is announcing new improved ESR/ESL
performance for the 180 R Series RF/Microwave Capacitors.This is
ATC's lowest ESR multilayer capacitor. The high Q, high self-
resonance characteristic supports many RF/Microwave applications.
Self-encapsulating porcelain construction provides a rugged,
hermetic package without the need or liability of external
encapsulants.
Typical functional applications: Bypass, Coupling, Tuning, Feedback,
Impedance Matching and D.C.Blocking.
Typical circuit applications: RF Power Amplifiers,Filters, Oscillators,
Timing Circuits and Delay Lines.
