Cap Dielectric Boosts Current And Q

The UQCS Series multilayer capacitor (MLC) chip exploits a unique dielectric and internal electrode materials in a 0603 case size. The fine-grained, high-density, high-purity dielectric material keeps out moisture and includes an electrode system optimized for high frequency performance. Suitable for RF/microwave apps ranging from 10 MHz to 4.2 GHz, the capacitor exhibits significantly lower ESR values and higher series resonance values. Available in 0603 sizes with voltages up to 250 Vdc, prices range from $0.05 to $0.40 each in volume. AVX CORP., Fountain Inn, SC. (864) 967-9304.
