ATC 920 C Series X7R
Ceramic RF Power
Multilayer Capacitors
• Case C Size • Capacitance Range
(.250" x .250") 0.01 µF to 1 µF
• Low ESR/ESL • High Reliability
• Rugged Construction • Mid-K
• Manufactured for ATC
ATC’s 920C Series MLC capacitors offer superior quality at a
competitive price. This MLC Series is manufactured for ATC in
accordance with ATC’s high quality standards. Ceramic construction
provides a rugged and reliable hermetic package. Available
termination styles include a standard solder plate over a nickel
barrier for most applications and palladium silver for non-magnetic
applications commonly used in medical electronics.
Typical functional applications: Bypass, Coupling, and DC Blocking.
Typical circuit applications: HF Amplifiers, Switching Mode Power
Supplies (SMPS), High Frequency SMPS Filters.
