ATC, the industry leader, offers new improved ESR/ESL performance
for the 700 C Ser ies RF Capacitors. This high Q multilayer capacitor
is ultra-stable under high RF current and voltage applications. High
density porcelain construction provides a rugged, her metic package.
ATC offers an encapsulation option for applications requiring extend-
ed protection against arc-over and corona.
Typical functional applications: Bypass, Coupling, Tuning, Impedance
Matching and DC Blocking.
Typical circuit applications: VHF/UHF RF Power Amplifiers, Antenna
Tuning, Plasma Chambers and Medical (MRI coils).
*For leaded styles only.

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.
