Types MC and MCN
Multilayer RF Capacitors
High-Frequency, High-Power, High-Voltage Chips with Nonmagnetic Option
Rugged fexibility and compatibility with FR4 boards make Type
MC and MCN capacitors ideal for use where other multilayer
caps aren’t recommended because of cracking. The natural
mica dielectric retains its high-Q to many megahertz, so higher
frequency applications are limited by the circuit inductance,
not the Type MC capacitor.
Nonmagnetic
Type MCN chips are
available for MRI and other high frequency applications that often
use more expensive porcelain ceramic chips.
