CERAMIC CHIP CAPACITORS
Applications
Laser-Trim®‚ tuning capacitors are laser adjustable
monolithic ceramic surface mount devices for precise
functional tuning of R.F circuits.
.
Laser-Trim® have the high reliability expected of conven-
tional multi-layer chip capacitors and do not experience
capacitance drift, flux entrapment and other reliability
concerns associated with conventional trimmers.
These capacitors exhibit excellent post-trim “Q” and
“ESR” performances at frequencies of 100 - 2000 MHz.
Proposed in standard sizes 0603, 0805, 1206 and 1210
with nickel-barrier terminations and tape and reel pack-
aging, Laser-Trim® are compatible with high volume
S.M.T auto-placement and reflow techniques.
They are ideally suited for functional tuning applications
