RFCS www.vishay.com Vishay Electro-Films Thin Film Surface Mounted RF Capacitor FEATURES • Industries highest SRF • Low DCR, high Q Available • Small size: 0.040" x 0.020" x 0.015" • S parameter files available upon request Available • High frequency up to 20 GHz Product may not be to scale • Surface mount RFCS series of thin film capacitors on silicon are designed for RF circuits that require exceptional performance at frequencies up to 20 GHz. The unique structure of the RFCS capacitors is based on thin-film electrodes deposited on a highly conductive silicon substrate. This unique structure is characterized by low parasitic inductance allowing the capacitors to maintain their performance to higher frequencies than other technologies. • Case size: 0402 The RFCS replaces the HPC product line. Additional values and form factors available upon request. Available Available • Material categorization: For definitions of compliance please see www.vishay.com/doc?99912 Note * This datasheet provides information about parts that are RoHS-compliant and/or parts that are non-RoHS-compliant. For example, parts with lead (Pb) terminations are not RoHS-compliant. Please see the information/tables in this datasheet for details.
