SPECIFICATIONS
QUALITY FACTOR (Q):
greater than 10,000 at 1 MHz.
TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT OF CAPACITANCE (TCC):

ATC, the industry leader, is announcing new improved ESR/ESL
performance for the 180 R Series RF/Microwave Capacitors. This is
ATC's lowest ESR multilayer capacitor. The high Q, high self-
resonance characteristic supports many RF/Microwave applications.
Self-encapsulating porcelain construction provides a rugged,
hermetic package without the need or liability of external
encapsulants.
Typical functional applications: Bypass, Coupling, Tuning, Feedback,
Impedance Matching and D.C. Blocking.
Typical circuit applications: RF Power Amplifiers,Filters, Oscillators,
Timing Circuits and Delay Lines.

The above part number refers to a 180 R Series (case size R) 10 pF capacitor, J tolerance (±5%),
500 WVDC, with W termination (solder plate), laser marking and bulk 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 (631) 622-4700.
Consult factory for additional performance data.
