ATC 550Z SERIES UBC™ CAPACITORS
ATC 550Z Series UBC™
Ultra-Broadband Capacitor
Features:
• EIA 0201 Case Size
• Capacitance: 10 nF min.
• Operating Frequency:
160 KHz (-3 dB roll-off) to 40+ GHz*
• Insertion Loss: < 0.4 dB typical
• Orientation Insensitive
• One Piece Construction
• Voltage Rating: 10 WVDC**
• RoHS Compliant Terminations
ATC’s new 550Z Ultra-Broadband Capacitor is manu-
factured with highest quality materials to provide reli-
able and repeatable Ultra-Broadband performance
from 160 KHz through 40+ GHz. It exhibits ultra-low
insertion loss, flat frequency response and excellent
return loss, and is ideal for D.C. Blocking, Coupling,
Bypassing and Feedback applications requiring Ultra-
Broadband performance.
The 550Z is a one-piece orientation-insensitive 0201 SMT
package, fully compatible with high speed automated
pick-and-place manufacturing. It is designed to meet
the most stringent requirements of Ultra-Broadband
applications.
