Microwave MLC’s
AQ Series
These porcelain and ceramic dielectric multilayer capacitor
(MLC) chips are best suited for RF/ Microwave applications
typically ranging from 10 MHz to 4.2 GHz. Characteristic is a
fine grained, high density, high purity dielectric material imper-
vious to moisture with heavy internal palladium electrodes.
These characteristics lend well to applications requiring:
1) high current carrying capabilities;
2) high quality factors;
3) very low equivalent series resistance;
4) very high series resonance;
5) excellent stability under stresses of changing volt-
age, frequency, time and temperature.

NOTES:
1. A
0,
B
0,
and K
0
are determined by the max. dimensions to the ends of the
terminals extending from the component body and/or the body dimensions of
the component. The clearance between the end of the terminals or body of the
component to the sides and depth of the cavity (A
0,
B
0,
and K
0
) must be within
0.05 mm (.002) min. and 0.50 mm (.020) max. The clearance allowed must also
prevent rotation of the component within the cavity of not more than 20 degrees
(see sketches C & D).
2. Tape with components shall pass around radius “R” without damage. The
minimum trailer length (Note 2 Fig. 3) may require additional length to provide R
min. for 12mm embossed tape for reels with hub diameters approaching N min.
(Table 4).
3. G
1
dimension is the flat area from the edge of the sprocket hole to either the
outward deformation of the carrier tape between the embossed cavities or to
the edge of the cavity whichever is less.
4. G
2
dimension is the flat area from the edge of the carrier tape opposite the
sprocket holes to either the outward deformation of the carrier tape between the
embossed cavity or to the edge of the cavity whichever is less.
5. The embossment hole location shall be measured from the sprocket hole
controlling the location of the embossment. Dimensions of embossment
location and hole location shall be applied independent of each other.
6. B
1
dimension is a reference dimension for tape feeder clearance only.
