GC84001 – GC84300
PASSIVE DEVICES
®
MNS Capacitors
TM
RoHS Compliant
DESCRIPTION
KEY FEATURES
. Excellent Q
The GC84000 series are silicon chip capacitors and utilize silicon
nitride as the dielectric layer. These capacitors are preferred over
MOS devices because of their improved reliability and ruggedness. In
addition, they exhibit higher capacitance per unit area, resulting in
smaller size.
. Superior Insertion Loss
. Suitable for application to 18Ghz
. RoHS Compliant1
Because MNS capacitors are high Q devices, they have superior
insertion loss characteristics for high frequency applications as
compared with ceramic chip capacitors. They are used from UHF
through Ku-bands and exhibit less than 0.1 dB insertion loss over this
range.
The working voltage rating is 100 VDC (140 VDC, typical). Special
devices with breakdown ratings to 300 VDC and custom sizes are
available. Contact factory for details.
This series of devices meets RoHS requirements per EU Directive
2002/95/EC. The standard terminal finish is gold unless otherwise
specified. Consult the factory if you have special requirements.
APPLICATIONS
The GC84000 chip capacitors are used in RF circuits for DC blocks,
capacitive coupling and RF bypass. They are used for fixed
capacitive tuning of oscillators, multipliers or filter elements.
