ATC 700 A Series NPO
Porcelain and Ceramic
Multilayer Capacitors
• Case A Size • Capacitance Range
(.055" x .055") 0.1 pF to 1000 pF
• Low ESR/ESL • Zero TCC
• Low Noise • High Self-Resonance
• Rugged Construction • Established Reliability (QPL)
• Extended WVDC
up to 250 VDC
ATC, the industry leader, offers new improved ESR/ESL performance for
the 700 A Series RF/Microwave Capacitors. The superior high self- res-
onance and zero TCC characteristic of this Series provide excellent per-
formance over a broad range of RF and microwave applications requir-
ing minimum drift. High density porcelain and ceramic constructions pro-
vide a rugged, hermetic package.
Typical functional applications: Bypass, Coupling, Tuning and DC
Blocking.
Typical circuit applications: Filters, Oscillators and Timing
ENVIRONMENTAL TESTS
ATC 700 A Series Capacitors are designed and manufactured to
meet and exceed the requirements of EIA-198, MIL-PRF-55681 and
MIL-PRF-123.
THERMAL SHOCK:
MIL-STD-202, Method 107, Condition A.
MOISTURE RESISTANCE:

while subjected to an environment of 85°C with 85% relative humidity
for 240 hours min.
LIFE TEST:
MIL-STD-202, Method 108, for 2000 hours, at 125°C.
200% WVDC applied.

the
“ATC” prefix. Both methods of defining the part number are equivalent, i.e.,
part numbers referenced with the “ATC” prefix are interchangeable to parts
referenced without the “ATC” prefix. Customers are free to use either in
specifying or procuring parts from American Technical Ceramics.
