Overview
The ATC 600L Series datasheet introduces a range of ultra-low equivalent series resistance (ESR), high quality factor (Q), and negative-positive-zero (NPO) radio frequency (RF) and microwave capacitors, boasting the lowest ESR and the highest working voltage (200v) in its class for the standard EIA size: 0402. These capacitors cater to high-frequency applications due to their high self-resonance frequencies.
Applications
These capacitors are essential in a variety of applications:
- Cellular Base Stations
- Subscriber-based Wireless Devices
- Broadband Wireless Services
- WiFi (802.11)
- Satellite Communications
- WiMAX (802.16)
They are also used in circuit applications including filter networks, matching networks, and for high Q frequency tuning, coupling, bypass sources, and DC blocking.
Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
The capacitors’ capacitance range is from 0.1 to 27 pF, with working voltage rated at 200 VDC and quality factor (Q) of 2000 at 1 MHz. Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to +125°C, with various tolerance options available. They are designed with tin-plated terminations over a nickel barrier as standard, with options for non-magnetic barriers and tin/lead solder plating.
Environmental Specifications
They comply with insulation resistance minimums of 10^5 MΩ at +25°C and 10^4 MΩ at +125°C at the rated WVDC, meet life test standards of 2000 hours at +125°C at 2X WVDC, and withstand thermal shocks from -55°C to +125°C. The capacitors resist moisture in accordance with MIL-STD-202, Method 106, and are capable of withstanding 2.5 times the working voltage for 5 seconds. Additionally, the ATC 600 Series Capacitors are RoHS compliant, with no piezoelectric or aging effects.
Military Approvals and Standards
These capacitors meet or exceed EIA-198, MIL-PRF-55681, and MIL-PRF-123 standards, are RoHS compliant, and do not exhibit piezoelectric effects or aging.
Part Numbering and Tolerances
The ATC part number code is structured to include the series, case size (e.g., 0402), capacitance code, tolerance, packaging type, and termination code, with multiple options and custom tolerances available on request.
The capacitors are offered with tolerances of ±0.05pF, ±0.1pF, ±0.25pF, ±0.5pF, ±1%, ±5%, ±10%, and ±20%, and packaging is standard Tape and Reel for automated assembly processes.
