AQ Series

Microwave MLC’s
AQ Series
These porcelain and ceramic dielectric multilayer capacitor
(MLC) chips are best suited for RF/ Microwave applications
typically ranging from 10 MHz to 4.2 GHz. Characteristic is a
fine grained, high density, high purity dielectric material impervious to moisture with heavy internal palladium electrodes.
These characteristics lend well to applications requiring:
1) high current carrying capabilities;
2) high quality factors;
3) very low equivalent series resistance;
4) very high series resonance;
5) excellent stability under stresses of changing voltage, frequency, time and temperature.
