GX0S Series Ultra Broad Band Capacitor ADVANTAGES APPLICATIONS • Ultra-Broadband performance • Ultra-Low Insertion Loss • Semi-Conductor Data Communications Customers • Excellent Return Loss • Receiver Optical Sub-Assemblies • Transimpedance Amplifier Customers • Test Equipment Manufactures The GX0S Series was developed to address DC Blocking issues from ~16KHz (-3dB roll-off) to 40GHz and was designed specifically for mounting on strip lines with widths less than 20mils. In most applications, insertion loss (as shown below) will typically fall in the range of 0.4dB. Insertion loss at frequencies higher than 40GHz will be in part dependent on installation parameters. These devices utilize AVX’s patented precision thin film termination process and are especially well suited for high volume solder assembly. Both Ni/Sn and Ni/Au terminations are available to cover a wide range of attachment processes. Au terminated units are wire bondable. Users, therefore, may find these devices useful in bypass applications when wire bonding is a necessary part of the manufacturing process. GX0S products (like all GX Series parts) are RoHS compliant. More information can be obtained by contacting the factory or your local AVX representative.
