ATC 550L Data Sheet Test Condition Description
ATC testing to 40 GHz performed on 10-mil-thick Rogers RO4350 microstrip board, with the device under test subtending a 24 mil gap in a 22-mil-wide center
trace (nominal 50-ohm characteristic impedance). Modelithics model developed through testing on several different substrates, including 5-mil-thick Alumina
measured through 65 GHz. The modeled results presented for RO4350 were for a pad width of 20 mils and a gap of 16 mils.

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.
