Type CD16 & CDV16 Snubber and RF Application, Mica Capacitors
Higher dV/dt Capability and Flatter Insertion Loss
Ideal for snubber and RF applications, CDV16 mica capacitors now handle dV/
dts up to 275,000 V/μs and they assure controlled, resonance-free performance
through 1 GHz. CDV16/CD16 mica capacitors excel in both snubber applications
and high-frequency applications like RF and CATV. Type CDV16’s high pulse
current capability make them ideal for pulse and snubber applications. CDV16
capacitors withstand an unlimited number of pulses with a dV/dt of 275,000
V/μs. This is a 20% increase in dV/dt capability when compared to our CDV19
mica capacitors and CDV16’s are smaller too. CDV16 capacitors handle higher
peak currents — up to 825 amps. They also handle high continuous RMS current
at 5 MHz and up to 30 MHz. For example, a 470 pF CDV16 capacitor handles
6.2 A rms continuously at 13.56 MHz and it is 1/4 the cost of a comparable
porcelain ceramic capacitor. In addition to being great for snubbers, CDV16
is a fit for your RF applications. Their compact size and closer lead spacing
improves insertion loss performance — insertion loss data is flat within ±0.2 dB,
typically to beyond a gigahertz.
