Summary of ATC 700 A Series NPO Multilayer Capacitors Datasheet

The datasheet provides detailed information about the ATC 700 A Series NPO (Negative-Positive-Zero) Porcelain and Ceramic Multilayer Capacitors. These capacitors offer a capacitance range from 0.1 pF to 1000 pF with low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL), as well as high self-resonance frequencies. The capacitors are characterized by zero Temperature Coefficient of Capacitance (TCC), making them ideal for RF and microwave applications that require minimal drift.

The ATC 700 A Series Capacitors have an Insulation Resistance (IR) ranging from 10⁶ Megohms minimum at 25°C to 10⁴ Megohms minimum at 125°C, depending on the capacitance value.

In terms of reliability, these capacitors are designed to meet and exceed the requirements of EIA-198, MIL-PRF-55681, and MIL-PRF-123 standards. They have passed several environmental tests including thermal shock (MIL-STD-202, Method 107, Condition A), moisture resistance (MIL-STD-202, Method 106), and low voltage humidity (MIL-STD-202, Method 103). Further exuding resilience, the capacitors experience no aging effects, piezoelectric effects, and a capacitance drift of only ±(0.02% or 0.02 pF), whichever is greater.

These capacitors boast a wide Operating Temperature Range from -55°C to +125°C, with no derating of working voltage required. Various surface mount termination styles are available, detailed on page 3 of the datasheet. Also, terminal strength can handle a pull of 5 lbs. min, 10 lbs. typical, for 5 seconds.

The datasheet’s second page lists numerous specific capacitance values and working voltage (WVDC) options, both standard and extended, for the 700 A Series. Capacitance values in bold indicate a porcelain dielectric and others suggest a ceramic dielectric. The ATC part number code is explained in detail, showing how to denote series, packaging, case size, capacitance code, capacitance tolerance, and termination code. ATC’s Cap-Pac® packaging option is also highlighted.

This datasheet represents the product as an engineer’s choice for high-performance capacitors, suitable for applications such as bypassing, coupling, tuning, DC blocking, filters, oscillators, and timing circuits.
