REQUENCY
For surface mount version, self resonant frequency is improving when width of terminal is increasing.
With more width terminal, Equivalent Serial Resistance (ESR) is lower.
As example for the same capacity range, self resonant frequency of model 8 is higher than for model 3.

GigaHertz Trimmer capacitors are compatible with a wide variety of cleaning process including those
that utilize aqueous or semi-aqueous solutions, alcohol solutions, de-ionized water and numerous other
cleaners. However, due to the large variety of such processes, the customer through cleaning process
evaluation in conjunction with TEMEX-CERAMICS product purchased must determine actual compatibility.
Capacitors without sealing caps should be protected from intrusion of cleaning solutions in the internal bushing
thread. It is recommended these units be installed after circuit boards have been cleaned. Units with seal caps
may be immersed in liquid, vapour and ultrasonic system.

ACKAGING
Parts are delivered in bulk for quantity lower than 500 p.
GigaHertz trimmers AT 27263 ROHS, AT 27273 ROHS, AT 27283 ROHS, AT 27268 ROHS, AT 27278
ROHS, AT 27288 ROHS, AT SM 270 ROHS and AT SM 280 ROHS are available on tape and reel, quantity per
reel 500p.
Models 0 and 1, trimmers AT 27293 ROHS, AT 27298 ROHS and AT SM 290 ROHS are not available
on tape.
When delivered on tape, GigaHertz trimmers include a permanent sealing cap which is moisture proof
and resists intrusion of dirt, dust, solder flux and cleaning agents, and allows easy access, accurate tuning after
assembly and cleaning. References of sealing caps are AT 69600 for AT 2726X ROHS family and AT 69700 for
AT 2727X ROHS, AT 2728X ROHS and AT 2729X ROHS families. For sealing caps of AT SM series, contact
