Introduction to Dielectric Laboratories Inc.
What makes DLI Unique?
DLI built its global reputation as a manufacturer of high frequency,
High Q capacitors. In recent years, DLI has emerged as a
comprehensive manufacturer of specialty ceramic components for
application specific microwave and millimeter wave components
serving customers in fiber optic, wireless, medical, transportation,
semiconductor, space, avionics and military markets.
With over four decades of material science formulation and
development, more than one hundred proprietary and/or patented
ceramic formulations, and multiple recent patent filings, DLI is the
pre-eminent ceramic component manufacturer in the industry. The
marriage of ceramic expertise, manufacturing know-how, product
quality, customer service, product customization, and clever
microwave and RF design engineering sets us apart from all others
in the industry.
DLI offers a broad range of Multi-Layer Capacitor products.
We have the most comprehensive array of Broadband Blocking
capacitors. We have expertise in customizing, tight tolerances and
meeting specific design targets.
DLI is the preeminent global supplier of Single-Layer Capacitors.
We have the world’s broadest range of materials starting with
Class 1 dielectrics with ξr from 5.7 to 900 and Class 2 dielectrics

(K) allowing miniaturization opportunities and temperature stable
performance.
DLI continues to introduce exciting new innovations in custom
ceramic resonator and filter technologies. These patent-protected
products leverage decades of ceramic and Thin Film experience,
creative and clever design expertise, and advanced prototyping
and testing capabilities. Please discuss your needs with our Sales
and Applications Engineering Team.
Heat Sinks and Resonator Components complete our portfolio.

What’s New at DLI
0402
0402 product line extension
of Z type plating (Sn over
Ni) in the C04 (0402) case
size with its Ultra-Low
ESR UL dielectric material.
Previously the C04 product
line was only available in
“S” type plating (Au flash
over Ni).
Layers
• Au Flash (3-5µ”)
• Ni barrier Layer
• Ag Termination
• Sn plated solder
• Ni barrier layer
• Ag Termination
Catalog Filters
Newly released Catalog
Lowpass and Bandpass
Filters for high
frequency applications.
This small, surface
mount filters have
temperature stable
performance from 2
GHz up to 50 GHz. The
filters integrate DLI’s
high dielectric, temperature stable ceramic materials to offer
high reliability in environmentally challenging conditions.

Z
Applications
• Specialty Solder & Epoxy
“S”
“Z”
• High Volume & Hand Solder
Cavity Filters
Ceramic cavity resonator
technology can be
employed in conjunction
with DLI’s stable, high
Q ceramics to create
highly selective, small,
low loss band pass
filters. Using a multi-
port implementation, a
very small robust filter
can be created. Wide reject band performance without
spurious modes is possible. The small, shielded nature of
the ceramic filter implementation makes it an ideal choice
for integration in low noise receiver front ends with the
antenna and pre-amplifier.
High-order band pass filters are created by cascading single
cavity resonators to generate the required rejection.
Both termination types are fully RoHS compliant
Dielectric Laboratories Inc. C04 case size meets the EIA
0402 footprint, which is perfectly suited for High Frequency
decoupling type of applications.
Milli-Caps
®
Available in 0402, 0502
and 0602 footprints
with capacitance values
ranging from 0.3pF to
82pF. These capacitors
are perfect for testing
equipment, photonics,
SONET, digital radios
and matching filter
applications. A usable frequency range up to 40GHz with
very low series inductance and ultra-high series resonance
makes this the ideal capacitor for your broadband blocking
needs.
Build to print
DLI offers Build
to Print services
designed to facilitate
thin film product
design, manufacturing
and testing from
prototype to high
volume production.
Our custom ceramics
offer significantly
better thermal performance than the majority of the
industry standard ceramics and have an added benefit
of a sufficiently higher dielectric constant (K) allowing
miniaturization opportunities and temperature stable
performance.
50V UX material
The UX material space
qualified to MIL-
PRF-38534 Class K is
now available in a 50V
rating. DLI’s broad
range of standard
architectures, including
Di-Caps
®
, Border Caps
®
,
Bar Caps
®
and Gap
Caps
®
can utilize the
new 50V rated high
K dielectric. UX has
the highest dielectric constant of any of DLI’s wide variety
of materials. The high dielectric constant (K) allows for
higher capacitance values in smaller case sizes. This means
smaller components on your boards without sacrificing
performance!

Gain Equalizers
Gain Equalizers are designed
as a small, low cost solution
to your gain slope challenges.
DLI’s EW series is designed to
address the issue from DC to
18 GHz in a package smaller
than an 0302 capacitor.
Components are designed for
surface mount pick and place
equipment or epoxy mount.
