ATC 100 A Series
Porcelain Superchip®
Multilayer Capacitors
• Case A Size • Capacitance Range
(.055" x .055") 0.1 pF to 100 pF
• High Q • Ultra-Stable Performance
• Low ESR/ESL • High Self-Resonance

The above par t number refers to a 100 A Series (case size A) 10 pF capacitor,
J tolerance (±5%), 150 WVDC, with W ter mination (Tin/Lead, Solder Plated over Nickel Barrier), laser marking and ATC Cap-Pac®packaging.
For additional information and catalogs contact your ATC
representative or call direct at (631) 622-4700.
Consult factor y for additional performance data.
ATC accepts orders for our parts using designations
with
or
without
the
“ATC” prefix. Both methods of defining the par t number are equivalent, i.e.,
par t numbers referenced with the “ATC” prefix are interchangeable to par ts
referenced without the “ATC” prefix. Customers are free to use either in
specifying or procuring par ts from Amer ican Technical Ceramics.
