Surface-Mount Mica Chip Capacitors
High-Frequency, High-Stability Chips for RF Amplifiers, Transmitters and CATV
New Type MCN Nonmagnetic Chips for Ultra-High Frequency and MRI Applications.
With self-resonant frequencies typically above one gigahertz for
popular RF capacitance values and with a Q above 2,000, Type
MC capacitors are the answer for high-frequency public-service
radio communication, flight radio and cable television. The natural
mica dielectric retains its high-Q to many megahertz, so higher and
higher frequency applications are limited by the circuit inductance,
not the Type MC capacitor. Now new
nonmagnetic
Type MCN
chips are available for MRI and other ultra-high frequency
applications that use more expensive porcelain ceramic chips.
Highlights
• New, great-value, nonmagnetic MCN chips
• Low ESR/ESL to > 1 GHz, Q > 2000
•
Exact-values ±0.25%
≥100
pF, V up to 1000 V
• Free from thermal cracking, 270 °C OK
