is ultra-stable under high RF current and voltage applications. High
density porcelain construction provides a rugged, hermetic package.
ATC offers an encapsulation option for applications requiring ex-
tended protection agains arc-over and corona.
Typical functional applications: Bypass, Coupling, Tuning, Imped-
ance Matching and DC Blocking.
Typical circuit applications: HF/RF Power Amplifiers, Transmitters,
Antenna Tuning, Plasma Chambers and Medical (MRI coils).
*For leaded styles only

representative or call direct at (+1-631) 622-4700.
Consult factory for additional performance data.
ATC accepts orders for our parts using designations with or without the
“ATC” prefix. Both methods of defining the part number are equivalent,
i.e., part numbers referenced with the “ATC” prefix are interchangeable to
parts referenced without the “ATC” prefix. Customers are free to use either
in specifying or procuring parts from American Technical Ceramics.
