RF/Microwave Capacitors
100E Series Porcelain High RF Power Multilayer Capacitors
RF/Microwave Multilayer Capacitors (MLC)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
KYOCERA AVX, the industry leader, offers new improved
ESR/ESL performance for the 100 E Series RF Capacitors.
This high Q multilayer capacitor is ultra-stable under
high RF current and voltage applications. High density
porcelain construction provides a rugged, hermetic
package. KYOCERA AVX offers an encapsulation option for
applications requiring extended protection agains arc-over
and corona.
