GX Series Ultra Broad Band Capacitor ADVANTAGES APPLICATIONS • Ultra-Broadband performance • Ultra-Low Insertion Loss • Semi-Conductor Data Communications Customers • X5R & X7S Characteristics • Receiver Optical Sub-Assemblies • Excellent Return Loss • Transimpedance Amplifier Customers • Test Equipment Manufactures The GX Series was developed specifically to address DC Blocking issues from ~16KHz (-3dB roll-off) to 40GHz. Most applications will experience resonance-free insertion loss of <0.5dB thru at least 40GHz. Insertion loss at higher frequencies is in part dependent on installation parameters. Using AVX’s patented precision thin film termination process, the part is designed to be completely orientation insensitive with a standard EIA 0402 footprint to minimize board space requirements. Both Ni/Sn and Ni/Au terminations are available to cover a wide range of attachment processes. All GX parts are RoHS compliant. Au terminated units are wire bondable. Users may, therefore, find these devices equally useful in bypass applications when wire bonding is a necessary part of the manufacturing process. More information can be obtained by contacting the factory or your local AVX representative.
