Laser Marking
WVDC
The above part number refers to a 100 A Series (case size A) 10 pF capacitor,
J tolerance (±5%), 150 WVDC, with W termination (Tin /Lead, Solder Plated over Nickel Barrier), laser marking and ATC Tape and Reel packaging.
ATC accepts orders for our parts using designations
with
or
without
the
“ATC” prefix. Both methods of defining the part number are equivalent,
i.e., part numbers referenced with the “ATC” prefix are interchangeable to
parts referenced without the “ATC” prefix. Customers are free to use either
in specifying or procuring parts from American Technical Ceramics.
For additional information and catalogs contact your ATC
representative or call direct at (+1-631) 622-4700.
Consult factory for additional performance data.
