The ATC 700 A Series datasheet details a range of NPO porcelain and ceramic multilayer capacitors, critical for RF/microwave applications with specifications ensuring reliability and performance. These capacitors offer a capacitance range from 0.1 pF to 1000 pF, and they are engineered to meet the stringent needs of bypass, coupling, tuning, and DC blocking in various circuits including filters, oscillators, and timing mechanisms.
Key Features and Specifications:
Low ESR/ESL: These capacitors are tailored for high-frequency applications, ensuring minimal equivalent series resistance and inductance.
Temperature Coefficient of Capacitance (TCC): Zero TCC within a range of -55ºC to +125ºC validates their stability across temperature fluctuations.
Quality Factor (Q): With a Q-factor greater than 10,000 for capacitances between 0.1 pF and 100 pF, and above 2000 for 110 pF to 1000 pF, these capacitors exhibit minimal energy loss at resonance in the specified frequency range.
Working Voltage (WVDC): Extended working voltage up to 250 VDC, with specific capacitance values provided on page two of the datasheet.
Environmental Compliance and Durability:
Designed to exceed EIA-198, MIL-PRF-55681, and MIL-PRF-123 requirements, the capacitors are tested for dielectric withstanding voltage at 250% of rated WVDC for 5 seconds. They are impervious to aging effects and piezoelectric effects, thus showing no capacitance variation with applied voltage or pressure.
Additional environmental tests include thermal shock as per MIL-STD-202, Method 107, and moisture resistance and low voltage humidity testing per MIL-STD-202 methods 106 and 103, illustrating their adaptability to moist conditions.
Physical Properties:
Rugged, hermetic construction ensures durability, while various surface mount termination styles cater to diverse assembly requirements. Terminations endure a minimum pull strength of 5 Ibs for 5 seconds, signifying their robustness against mechanical stress.
Ordering Information:
Part numbers are flexible in terms of ATC prefix usage, which does not affect the product specification or procurement. For specialized values, tolerances, higher WVDC, matching needs, and consultation on performance data, contacting the factory is recommended.
Contact Information:
The datasheet concludes with contact details for American Technical Ceramics’ North America, Europe, and Asia divisions, emphasizing their global presence and accessibility for engineering solutions.
