FEATURES
Three standard sizes
For high frequency applications
Supplied in tape on reel or
in bulk case
NiSn terminations.
APPLICATIONS
Consumer electronics, for example:
Tuners

DESCRIPTION
The capacitor consists of a
rectangular block of ceramic dielectric
in which a number of interleaved
metal electrodes are contained.
This structure gives rise to a high
capacitance per unit volume.
The inner electrodes are connected to
the two terminations and finally
covered with a layer of plated tin
(NiSn). A cross section of the
structure is shown in Fig.1.
