Ultra Low ESR Capacitors -
‘C’ Series
The C-Series Ultra-Low ESR Capacitors are ideally suited for
applications such as base station products, high Q frequency sources,
portable wireless systems, and RF integrated circuits. The unique
combination of characteristics, performance, and high working voltage
allows C-Series Ultra-Low ESR Capacitors to exceed the dielectric RF
performance of any other series capacitor and to meet and exceed
EIA-198, MIL-PRF-55681 and MIL-PRF-123 requirements.
These capacitors are suitable solutions for applications that require:
•
Extremely Low ESR
•
•
High Self Resonance Frequencies
High Working Voltage
