ATC 700 A Series NPO
Porcelain and Ceramic
Multilayer Capacitors
• Case A Size • Capacitance Range
(.055" x .055") 0.1 pF to 1000 pF
• Low ESR/ESL • Zero TCC
• Low Noise • High Self-Resonance
• Rugged Construction • Established Reliability (QPL)
• Extended WVDC
up to 250 VDC
ATC, the industry leader, offers new improved ESR/ESL performance
for the 700 A Series RF/Microwave Capacitors. The superior high
self- resonance and zero TCC characteristic of this Series provide ex-
cellent performance over a broad range of RF and microwave appli-
cations requiring minimum drift. High density porcelain and ceramic
constructions provide a rugged, hermetic package.
Typical functional applications: Bypass, Coupling, Tuning and DC
Blocking.
Typical circuit applications: Filters, Oscillators and Timing
ENVIRONMENTAL TESTS
ATC 700 A Series Capacitors are designed and manufactured to
meet and exceed the requirements of EIA-198, MIL-PRF-55681
and MIL-PRF-123.

SPECIAL VALUES, TOLERANCES, HIGHER WVDC AND MATCHING AVAILABLE. PLEASE CONSULT FACTORY.
NOTE: EXTENDED WVDC DOES NOT APPLY TO CDR PRODUCTS.
Capacitance values in bold type indicate porcelain dielectric. All other capacitance values indicate ceramic dielectric.
All 700 A Capacitors are available laser marked with ATC's identification, capacitance code and tolerance.
For additional information and catalogs contact your ATC
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.
