ATC 200 A Series
BX Ceramic
Multilayer Capacitors
• Case A Size • Capacitance Range
(.055" x .055") 510 pF to 0.01 µF
• Low ESR/ESL • Mid-K
• Rugged • High Reliability
Construction
ATC, the industry leader, offers new improved ESR/ESL performance
for the 200 A Series Capacitors.This Series exhibits high volumetric
efficiency with superior IR characteristics. Ceramic construction pro-
vides a rugged, her metic package.

The above par t number refers to a 200 A Series (case size A) 5600 pF capacitor, M tolerance (±20%), 50 WVDC, with W termination
(Tin/Lead, Solder Plated over Nickel Barrier), and ATC Cap-Pac®packaging.
NOTE: Laser marking is not currently available for 200A capacitors.
For additional infor mation and catalogs contact your
ATC representative or call direct at (631) 622-4700.
Consult factory 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.
