Types MCM and MIN SMT clad PTFE and mica ca-
pacitors are top performers for high power applications
requiring low inductance at high frequencies and can
operate at temperatures up to 200 ºC and voltages to
1000 Vdc. Choosing from 16 different configurations
offers easy mounting with options for surface mount as
well as through-hole and mechanical assembly. To
assure high current capability in the smallest capaci-
tors, low-capacitance ratings use polytetrafluorethylene
(PTFE) that has ultra-low dielectric absorption - better
than polypropylene, polystyrene and NPO ceramic.
Highlights
200 ºC rated with no voltage derating
Wave solderable
No cracking or delaminating
CTE 18 ppm/ºC compatible with FR4 PCBs
Highly thermal conductive package
Gull-wing terminal minimizes stress
Typical 100 pF ESR, <11 mΩ @ 100 MHz
Nonmagnetic for minimal RF loss
Very low ESL for excellent by-pass action
Ultra stable: no change with (t), (V) and (f)
Exact capacitance with tolerances from ±0.25 pF
RoHS Compliant
