Microwave SLC’s
Single Layer Capacitor Series
GENERAL INFORMATION
AVX offers a complete line of SLC’s (Single Layer Capacitors).
These SLC’s are thin-film gold metallized (100µ inches) ceramic
capacitors uniquely suited to stripline width matching in
microwave circuitry. A wide variety of standard and special
sizes are available. This, coupled with numerous dielectric
materials, can meet the most complex application.
AVX is capable of meeting or exceeding the environmental and
mechanical specifications of the following:
