Ultra-broadband capacitors support frequencies to 110 GHz

The 550/560 Series ultra-broadband capacitors (UBCs) from KYOCERA AVX are multilayer ceramic capacitors designed for RF and microwave performance from 7kHz to 110GHz in optical communication and high-frequency systems. Available in 01005, 0201 and 0402 case sizes with capacitance values from 1nF to 220nF, working voltages up to 100V and operating temperatures from -55°C to +125°C, the devices feature low insertion loss, controlled return loss and tin- or gold-plated nickel barrier terminations for reflow compatibility. The capacitors support DC blocking, AC coupling, bypass and feedback functions in applications such as transimpedance amplifiers, ROSA and TOSA modules, SONET networks, broadband test equipment and 5G or satellite communication infrastructure.
