Overview of ATC 800 Series Capacitors

The ATC 800 Series NPO Ceramic High RF Power Multilayer Capacitors are specialized components designed for high power RF applications. These capacitors are ideally suited for VHF and microwave frequency ranges and cater to requirements such as Bypass, Coupling, Tuning, Impedance Matching, DC Blocking, and are particularly suitable for use in high power HF/RF amplifiers, transmitters, antenna tuning, plasma chambers, and MRI coils.

Key Specifications

The capacitors deliver High Q Ultra-Stable Performance with a quality factor (Q) of greater than 5,000 at multitudinous frequency ranges, ensuring minimal signal loss. The series boasts an impressive Temperature Coefficient of Capacitance (TCC) of 0 ±30 PPM/°C for temperature stability and an Insulation Resistance (IR) ranging from 10⁵ Megohms at +25°C to 10⁴ Megohms at +125°C. These specifications highlight the capacitors’ ability to maintain performance stability across a wide temperature range.

The capacitors come in a variety of capacitance values ranging from 2.2 pF to 3000 pF and can withstand Working Voltages (WVDC) correlated to these capacitance values. They meet and exceed various industry standards, including EIA-198, MIL-PRF-55681, and MIL-PRF-123. Additional tests like Thermal Shock, Moisture Resistance, and Life Test ensure they are robust and reliable in harsh conditions. Also, ATC 800 Series components exhibit no Aging or Piezoelectric Effects, highlighting their stable and predictable performance over time.

Environmental Compliance and Quality

ATC’s commitment to environmental stewardship is underscored by their RoHS Compliant and Pb-free status, ensuring these components meet current environmental standards. Manufactured by American Technical Ceramics, a company with the ISO 9001 registration, the ATC 800 Series capacitors are a testament to high-quality engineering and reliability in demanding applications.
