porcelain construction provides a rugged, hermetic package.
Typical functional applications: Bypass, Coupling, Tuning, Feedback,
Impedance Matching and DC Blocking.
Typical circuit applications: Microwave/RF/IF Amplifiers, Mixers,
Oscillators, Low Noise Amplifiers, Filter Networks, Timing Circuits
and Delay Lines.
