GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AVX, the industry leader, offers new improved ESR/
ESL performance for the 700 A Series RF/Microwave
Capacitors. The superior high self- resonance and zero TCC
characteristic of this Series provide excellent performance
over a broad range of RF and microwave applications
requiring minimum drift. High density porcelain and ceramic
constructions provide a rugged, hermetic package.
Typical functional applications: Bypass, Coupling, Tuning and
DC Blocking.
Typical circuit applications: Filters, Oscillators and Timing
