GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PACKAGING OPTIONS
KYOCERA AVX’s 800 E Series offers superb performance in
demanding high RF power applications requiring consistent
and reliable operation. The combination of highly conductive
metal electrode systems, optimized case geometries, and
proprietary dielectrics, yields the lowest ESR. KYOCERA AVX's
new NPO low loss rugged dielectrics are designed to provide
superior heat transfer in high RF power applications. Ultra-
low ESR and superior thermal performance ensure that the
800 E Series products are your best choice for high RF power
applications from VHF through microwave frequencies.
